Shortage monitoring tools added to the AVPHARM website

8/11/2022

It is now possible to learn why commonly used VMPs disappeared and report their shortage.

The Association of Veterinary Pharmaceutical Manufacturers continues to expand the site section for industry participants. The second set of data is dedicated to the availability of in-demand VMPs on the market.

In September, AVPHARM proposed to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin to “develop and implement a legal mechanism for determining a shortage of VMPs”, which is already in use for medicinal products. The Association considers such a mechanism useful for authorities to monitor the actual market situation and, consequently, make informed decisions. Market participants and end users can use the launched tool while the regulatory authorities are working out a decision on the need to develop a state-controlled mechanism for determining the shortage of VMPs.
