The Ukrainian cabinet plans to revise its decision on setting ceiling prices for some medicines and medical products.

The retail price of Amixin (0.125 milligram pills) should be no more than UAH 55, that for Tamiflu (75-milligram capsules) – UAH 348.50, Azithromycin (0.5 gram pills) – UAH 29.45, Amizonum (0.25 gram pills) UAH 15, Ampicillinum (0.25 gram pills) UAH 9, Arbidolum (0.1 gram pills) – UAH 45, ascorbic acid (0.5 gram pills) – UAH 8, Rimantadine (50 milligram pills) – UAH 8.50, and Unguentum Oxolini (10 gram tube) – UAH 8.50.
