Infarmed banned the export of 51 medicines. This decision is part of a list that is published monthly by this regulatory body.
The main objective of this measure is to temporarily suspend certain drugs, thus ensuring the supply of the Portuguese national market.
The monthly list serves as a control mechanism to ensure there is no shortage of medicines available for patients in Portugal.
This measure directly affects medicine distributors and exporters in Portugal, who are prevented from sending these 51 drugs abroad. Infarmed's monthly list is a supply management tool that tries to ensure there are no stock shortages in the internal market, thus protecting Portuguese access to essential medicines. This is a recurring practice by the regulator to balance domestic demand with export.
