The list of medicines included in vital drugs. How are vital and essential medicines purchased

Vital and essential medications  (Vital and Essential Drugs; until 2011 - “Vital and Essential Drugs”, Essential and Essential Medicines) - a list of medicines approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for the purpose of state regulation of prices for medicines. The task of state regulation of drug prices is to increase accessibility medicines  for the population and medical institutions.

Vital and Essential Drugs List   contains a list of medicines under international nonproprietary names and covers almost all types of medical care provided to citizens of the Russian Federation under state guarantees, in particular, ambulance, hospital care, specialized outpatient and inpatient care, and also includes a significant amount of medicines implemented in the commercial sector. In addition, the List of Vital and Essential Drugs serves as the basis for the development of regional lists of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and formulary lists of medicines of stationary medical organizations.

It is formed using the international Anatomical Therapeutic and Chemical Classification of Medicines - ATX (Eng. ATC - Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification system).

The list of vital and essential drugs (Vital and Essential Drugs until 2011 - “Vital and Essential Drugs”, Vital and Essential Medicines facilities)   was developed for greater accessibility of drug care to the population, as well as improving the quality of drugs. Thus, using the list of vital and essential medicines, the state can exercise control over pricing, make rational use of budget funds allocated for the purchase of medicines.

Vital and Essential Drugs List  implies the provision of all types of medical care. It includes the following types of care: specialized inpatient or outpatient care, as well as conventional inpatient or emergency medical care. Vital and Essential Drugs List  It is the basis for creating regional lists of drugs in medical institutions with a stationary type of treatment.

The list of vital and essential medicines is expanding every year due to the emergence of new highly effective drugs that are in demand in domestic health care for emergency medical care.

Recently in Vital and Essential Drugs List  drugs were included to help patients who suffer from cancer. These are such drugs as: Erlotinb, Lomustine and Imatinib.

The range of high-performance hormonal drugs was also expanded by adding Fludrocortisin, Nandrolone and Leiprorelin to the List of Essential Drugs.

Vital and Essential Drugs List for the first time replenished with immunostimulants, which are so necessary in domestic health care - Tiloron, Meglumina, Azoximer.

To conduct effective therapy for pathology that develops with poor blood coagulation, in vital and Essential Drugs List  lyophilized powder for solution for infusion and anti-inhibitory coagulant complex are included.

Since 2006, a national healthcare project has been launched in Russia. To support this initiative, the List of Vital and Essential Drugs included preparations of iron, multiminerals and vitamins, which are provided to pregnant women, as well as children under the age of 1 year.

The List of Vital and Essential Drugs includes about 650 international generic names of medicines that are essential for the treatment of various diseases, as well as for the provision of high-quality, and, most importantly, effective medical care.

Vital and Essential Drugs List  every year amenable to changes, additions and amendments. It serves as the basic document that regulates the prices of medicines, and also approves their annual registry. According to the List of Vital and Essential Drugs, deductions are made from the state budget for medicines for all hospitals.

Do not confuse the List of Vital and Essential Drugs with the list of drugs that are prescribed to provide beneficiaries. The list of Vital and Essential Drugs includes medicines needed for treatment in the hospital (vaccines, supplies for examinations, diagnostics), while the list of medicines for beneficiaries lists the necessary drugs for outpatient treatment. That is why the List of Vital and Essential Drugs is not so important for ordinary citizens. It should be used only in cases where the hospital for unknown reasons does not have the right drug, although it should be. Then the patient can take the List of Vital and Essential Drugs, find the right drug and apply to the court with his complaint.

Lists similar to the List of Vital and Essential Drugs are in many countries of the world. They must be in all medical institutions. They are usually made up without taking into account the formulary lists and treatment standards. It’s just that the best experts are engaged in their development, given the possibility of the course of a disease. Standardization in treatment causes a lot of controversy among doctors. It would seem that the complete lack of standards can lead to diagnostic, and then to medical errors, which are not so easy to fix later. But on the other hand, many doctors do not agree to treatment only by standards from the point of view of their practice. The List of Vital and Essential Drugs gives doctors some freedom of action, as it is compiled according to the international generic names of medicines. This means that drugs are created strictly according to the chemical formula. Only problem lies in the fact that for each formula there can be not one trade name, and not even two, but tens. That's why the doctor can choose the drug at his discretion.

Every year it is necessary to check the List of Vital and Essential Drugs, this is necessary for its expansion by approximately two dozen dosage forms  and drugs.

A few words about drugs

Due to the complications caused by the uncontrolled use of drugs, hundreds of thousands of people die all over the world. One of the causes of death can be called adverse reactions that occur after the use of medicines. The doctor, when prescribing the medicine, cannot accurately determine the risk of side effects. It is believed that more than 3 drugs should not be taken at the same time. In world medical practice, there were cases when 6 medicines were prescribed for patients, then the risk of complications increased immediately by 20 (!) Times.

Statistics in the US show that about 2 million people get to hospitals from drug poisoning every year.

In Russia, free drug help, but patients are forced to buy additional medicines at their own expense. People buy medicines in pharmacies, then take them, often forgetting to consult with their doctor. In pharmacies, you can buy a variety of medicines without a prescription. And this leads to their uncontrolled use. Many people have never even thought that there are no completely safe medicines at all.

Incorrect dosage of the medicine can lead to tragic consequences. Therefore, you should always read the annotation to the drug. From it you will find out, and you have no contraindications to this medication.

Now the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is actively cooperating with the World Health Organization. Already released 18 volumes of the publication on side effects  medications.

So, we will consider what this class of drugs is, what regulatory legal documents are regulated and what are the features of such a purchase. We’ll also tell you where to look at the list of Vital and Essential Drugs for 2017.

First you need to determine the basic terms used in the procurement of drugs. 61-FZ of 04/12/2010 gives the basic concepts. Medicines - substances or their combinations that come into contact with the human body, used for prevention, diagnosis, treatment of the disease, rehabilitation. There may be two types:

  • pharmaceutical substances (one or more active substances intended for the manufacture of drugs and which determine their effectiveness);
  • medicines, or drugs (used for prevention, diagnosis or treatment).

The latter come in several forms, they differ in the method of administration: solution, tablet, powder and others.

Any medicine has either an international nonproprietary name (INN) - a name recommended by the World Health Organization, or a grouping name - a name in the absence of an INN. In this case, the manufacturer must also assign a trade name. For example, ibuprofen is an INN, and on sale there are such trade names: Mig (produces Berlin-Chemie), Nurofen (from Reckitt-Benkizer), Next (production Otisifarm). Different manufacturers give drugs with the same active substance different trade names to identify the drug of a particular developer.

The state register of all registered drugs is maintained by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on the official website.

Where to find the list of essential drugs for 2017

In order to ensure priority needs of healthcare, prevention and treatment of diseases, including those prevailing in the structure of morbidity in the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Health maintains a list of so-called special drugs - Vital and Essential Drugs. It is approved annually. Below you can download the updated list of Vital and Essential Drugs for 2017.

Since 2012 the list is called vital drugs and not vital drugs, i.e. drugs, not in the broader concept of drugs. And, although both abbreviations are still in use today, it is important to remember that the second option is not entirely correct.

Download the list of vital drugs for 2017 (approved by Order of 28.12.2016 N 2885-r) can be on various pharmaceutical sites, however, in order to obtain reliable information, it is more expedient to use the order of the Government.

Features of Vital and Essential Drugs Purchases

Particularly noteworthy are the features of conducting orders of this category of drugs:

  2. Mandatory indication in the INN documentation (in their absence - chemical grouping names), and when conducting a request for proposals for procurement by decision of the medical commission for one patient during the treatment period, the trade name may be contained in the documentation.
  3. The approved Rules for the formation of the list of drugs, the purchase of which is carried out in accordance with their trade names (Decree of November 28, 2013 N 1086), but the list has not yet been created.
  4. Restrictions on the purchase of drugs of foreign origin in accordance with the Resolution of 30.11.2015 N 1289.
