The proliferation of imported medicines in the Venezuelan market has generated concern among specialists regarding the inconveniences that the consumption of products that have not gone through supervision might represent.
Julio Castro, an infectologist and professor at the Central University of Venezuela, recommended that citizens buy medicines only in formal establishments and purchase drugs that comply with the provisions of the National Institute of Hygiene.
“Do not buy medicines written in Chinese, Pakistani, it does not matter who sells it… it is an illicit pharmaceutical in Venezuela. You have no guarantee that this medication met the standards, ”he expressed emphatically in an interview offered to the Unión Radio Éxitos Circuit.
Flexibility in the rules
During the scarcity season, the authorities decided to make the methods for evaluating medicines more flexible and to be able to fill the shelves more quickly, a practice that is maintained, despite the fact that the situation no longer warrants it.
Another of the pharmacists’ recommendations is to give priority to national drugs, since all of them have passed through the laboratories of the National Institute of Hygiene, the entity in charge of certifying the product.
“If there are no nationals, it is necessary to verify if there is a sanitary import permit by pharmaceutical houses,” said Marabia Escobar, manager of the Pharmaceutical Service of the Metropolitan Polyclinic.
Here are some tips for buying medicines in Venezuela:
Buy only in formal establishments.
Make sure the medicines are correctly labeled and in your language.
Verify that the medicines have a sanitary import permit.
If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
It is important to take precautions when buying medicines in Venezuela, since there is a risk of buying products that are not safe or effective. By following these tips, you can help protect your health.
