"Ascorbic and manganese" was named by fine members of the Federation Council from the Kurgan region Sergey Lisovsky as excellent analogues to imported medicines. In his opinion, Russians should not buy foreign pills, but should use their own, paternal medicines. So he commented on the publication "URA. RU "the idea of ??banning the advertising of drugs on TV. Lisovsky believes that our television specifically promotes expensive imported drugs, and for many years nothing could be done about it because of the observance of the conditions of market openness. "The Russians specifically encourage buying expensive medicines in order to clean up normal medicines that worked perfectly during the times of the Soviet Union and during tsarist Russia," he said.. A member of the Federation Council even remembered how and what was treated in the era of the popular television program "Health" with Yulia Belyanchikova.

"Something I did not see, manganese to advertise, which I was treated in childhood, or ascorbic acid, which worked fine," - said Lisovsky.

According to him, those drugs that are now advertised on TV are bought mostly by poor people in Russia, because the more affluent can consult a doctor. As a result, using "television" drugs, people only aggravate the disease, and the state, in turn, has to spend money for their treatment, said Lisovsky. The senator is confident that Russian pharmaceutical companies are able to produce part of the drugs themselves, while the other will be replenished with analogues produced in Asia.
