Parliamentarians believe that this will help reduce the production of illegal alcohol.
On July 28, the Federation Council approved a law that, from September 1, 2024, tightens the rules for the sale of medical alcohol. It can only be used to make medicines.
In the event that pharmaceutical companies violate the rules when selling alcohol wholesale, they will be deprived of their license, writes Parlamentskaya Gazeta.
The use of alcohol for the production of illegal alcohol, as the chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko said a few years ago, leads to sad consequences - people are poisoned by a surrogate. The state must control the circulation of alcohol-containing substances.
Next year, only pharmaceutical or medical institutions that have the appropriate licenses will be able to buy medical alcohol in bulk. It will also be allowed to buy alcohol from licensed testing laboratories that check the quality of medicines.
In addition, manufacturers of medical ethanol will be required to put identification on the packaging.
