Biologically active additives (BAA) may be banned for use in the treatment of children.
According to doctors and legislators, the harm from them to the child’s body more than good.
Medicines created specifically for children is not enough.
Doctors appealed to the members of the Federation Council to help solve this problem. From at least 70 typical children's ailments no children's drugs. We have to give kids adult drugs at their own peril or risk, or replace the necessary medicine with supplements.
Parents sometimes on their own Replace the drug with dietary supplements, being sure that this will only benefit the child.
Lawmakers vividly responded to the problem and said that the issue should be resolved the release of drugs in children's dosage with manufacturers at the legislative level.
And sellers of “miracle pills” and “miracle mixtures”, who simply use the existing “gap” of the pharmaceutical market, need to be legally prohibit advertise your productincluding on TV, as an effective remedy for cough, insomnia, stomach pain, which are “suitable for adults and children.”
Supplements do not pass clinical trials, and in relation to children's drugs such tests should be carried out several, besides, the manufacturers of “miracle drugs” do not bother to specify a list of side effects. All this creates a lot of problems with children's health.
Among the proposals of the legislators is the possibility of budgetary co-financing of clinical trials of children's drugs. This will make it possible for drug manufacturers to open new lines of children's medicine.
The question of banning dietary supplements in pediatrics will be resolved as soon as possible, assured the Federation Council.
