Increase in drug prices in the coming year
The head of the Food and Drug Organization says there is a possibility that drug prices will increase by 10 to 20 percent in the coming year, but this price increase will be covered by insurance.
ISNA news agency, quoting Heidar Mohammadi, has written that an increase in prices for all goods in proportion to inflation is natural, and a 10 to 20 percent increase in drug prices compared to inflation is not a significant figure.
Mohammadi said that if people obtain their medications through a doctor’s prescription, they will not face price increases.
