The director of the State Agency of Medicines (ZVA), Indra Dreika, noted that now in the Register of Medicines, one can not only find out if a medicine is available for sale but also check its price and the number of available packages. To obtain information, it is necessary to open the card of the required medicine in the Register of Medicines and go to the section "Packages of the medicinal product." If you click on the number of available packages, a search window will open where you can specify the city or region of interest. For more detailed searches, there is a link to the websites of pharmacy chains. A green checkmark is displayed if the medicine is available in at least one pharmacy. Currently, the pharmacy chains Apotheka, BENU Aptieka, Euroaptieka, Latvijas aptieka, and Mēness aptieka provide information about the availability of medicines. The data is updated once a day. According to the Cabinet of Ministers' regulations No. 416 "On the procedure for the distribution and quality control of medicinal products," owners of large pharmacy chains are required to publish such information starting from July 1 of this year. The ZVA recommends checking the current data in the Register of Medicines before going to the pharmacy, especially when it comes to rare or specific medications. The Register of Medicines is the official source of information about all registered medicines in Latvia. It contains instructions for use, maximum allowable prices in pharmacies, information about the availability of medicines from wholesalers and pharmacies, as well as possible alternatives. An interactive map of pharmacies is also available on the ZVA website. With its help, you can find the nearest pharmacy by name, address, street, or city, learn its contact information, and see which pharmacies operate around the clock, sell veterinary medicines, or prepare medicines on-site. If a red cross appears next to a medicine in the Register, it means that the medicine is unavailable both in pharmacies and from wholesalers. In this case, the ZVA recommends consulting a doctor or pharmacist about possible alternatives. Additionally, residents can report supply disruptions of medicines through a special form on the ZVA website in the section "Disruptions in medicine supplies and export restrictions."
