Only one company manufactures the authorized drug for Covid-19 with medical endorsement. There are other laboratories that can produce it, but require raw material.
The price of Ivermectin, the drug that was authorized by the Government for the treatment of patients with coronavirus in the country, even tripled. Pharmaceutical representatives ask to control the sale of the product. Currently, only the Santa Cruz company Nostas SRL produces it in the country.
In Santa Cruz, until a few days ago, this drug cost seven bolivianos in authorized pharmacies, but now it sells for between 15 and 20 bolivianos. There is also a resale market that raises prices up to 40 and 50 Bolivianos.
The president of the Departmental College of Biochemists and Pharmacists of La Paz, Jimmy Herrera, explained to Page Seven that "for now only a pharmaceutical company can manufacture this medicine because it has raw materials." This is Nostas SRL based in Santa Cruz.
