He told that the corresponding draft bill had already been given its first reading and soon would be adopted as a whole.
The MP explained that the draft bill forbids commercial of almost all medicines, except for some non-prescription ones. "The commercial of prescription medicines will be definitely forbidden. The Health Ministry will form a special commission, which will grant permission on advertising some medicine, such as aspirin. But the ban of commercial will be almost total. This kind of advertising will be allowed only in specialized editions," the MP said.
