In Romania, many patients are struggling to find prescribed psychiatric medications due to shortages in pharmacies. Authorities attribute this issue to parallel exports and some manufacturing problems. Essential drugs, including antidepressants and Alzheimer treatments, are also missing in other European countries. Psychiatrists warn that discontinuing treatment can worsen symptoms and lead to hospitalization. The Health Minister noted that legal parallel exporting practices exacerbate the situation, as medications are sold to countries offering higher prices.
