    DIMEDROL IS DEATH-DEALING

    A1+
    29 January, 2008

    In case you buy Dimedrol, Analgin or Novokain, do not forget to
    fetch the doctor's prescription, otherwise you will return home
    empty-handed. If the mentioned drugs were sold without a recipe before,
    today their free sale is forbidden.

    We visited some drug stores in Yerevan to find out the reason the
    drugs were sold only by a prescription. One of the sellers told
    us that an 18-year-old young man swallowed 10 pills of Dimedrol to
    sleep and get rid of the problems. But in the result, he went med,
    nightmares were chasing him and he was afraid of every trivial thing.

    Another seller told us that a 42-year-old man used to buy Dimedrol
    from the drug-store. One day they heard that the man swallowed 30
    pills, wanting to commit a suicide. "Thanks God, they have taken
    strict measures for the sale of drugs. Some medicines are prohibited
    to sell without the doctor's signature and seal", she said.

    Some sellers confessed that they sold medicine without prescriptions
    judging from the buyers' appearance. But if they look suspicious the
    sellers avoid selling the medicine. "We mainly trust our permanent
    consumers", mentioned a seller. Some medicines are forbidden to sell
    in ampoule; they are sold only in pills, for example Analgin.

    We tried to hear motivation of the RA Health Ministry.

    But the Minister's Press Speaker Ruslanna Gevorgyan was annoyed by
    our inquiry, and informed that the list of medicines which were sold
    by recipe was uploaded on the Ministry's website. "Thus, you should
    not bother the employees of the Ministry by such questions. They are
    very busy with the coming elections. You should surf our website to
    find answers to your question", advised Mrs Gevorgyan.

    We found only the RA Law "On Medicines" adopted in 1998, where it was
    mentioned that "sedative drugs and other medicines having the same
    influence should be sold by corresponding prescriptions only". In any
    case, we were unable to find out from the RA Health Ministry why the
    law was made stricter. "Medicines for headache and temperature are
    sold freely, but other medicines should be sold by prescriptions",
    said Mrs Gevorgyan.
