Amendments to the law on the circulation of medicines will come into force on September 1, 2023. Only pharmacies are authorized to produce medicinal products. This refers to veterinary pharmacies, which can manufacture animal drugs. However, individual entrepreneurs were left out of this list.

The amendments were made under Federal Law No. 502-FZ of December 5, 2022.

“The corresponding amendments will also be made to the Regulations on Pharmacy Services Licensing,” explained the Union of Animal Industry Enterprises.

Besides that, the Russian Ministry of Agriculture developed new draft rules for the manufacturing and sale of animal health products by veterinary pharmacies. Individual entrepreneurs were also excluded from the draft.
