Half a billion worth of inhalers illegally disappeared from the Czech Republic. Even after a year, nothing has changed
Hundreds of thousands of Symbicort Turbuhaler packs worth hundreds of millions of crowns a year are illegally disappearing from the Czech Republic. Radio data and investigative journalists have described the mechanism by which the drug escapes from the system and the route it takes. The State Institute for Drug Control has been headed by three people, none of whom has taken action against the re-export. Representatives of the institute did commission an audit, but when it too pointed out problems, they described it as full of speculation. Illegal exports could be made more difficult by an amendment to the Medicines Act.
