In the current situation, the extraordinary rise in medicine prices has placed patients under severe financial pressure.
For the public, purchasing medicines and seeking treatment has become extremely difficult, as the prices of medicines for various diseases have soared, with increases of over 100 percent recorded in many cases.
Even commonly used medicines have been affected by inflation, including antibiotics, painkillers, medicines for diabetes and blood pressure, as well as those for stomach issues, ulcers, muscle strength, allergies, skin diseases, and cough.
Prices of several medicines, including BV Dox, Strosoda, Tyvor, Surbex Z, Lysomite lotion, Mets, Deprecap, have increased, while the prices of Kerisef, Cefex, Azitma, AC File, and Getral have also risen.
Differences in prices among various batches of medicines have become a major question mark. Citizens have expressed serious concerns over the drug pricing and monitoring system, while it has become a major challenge for chronic patients to continue their treatment.
Due to expensive medicines, there are fears that patients may leave their treatment incomplete, posing serious risks to public health. The Drug Lawyers Forum has announced that it will take legal and constitutional action.
