FAQ
Where do the prices come from?
From the Russian state registry of maximum ex-factory prices for essential medicines. It is an official Ministry of Health document, updated daily, and we take it in full. No logins, no bypassing of protections — the registry is open.
Is this the price I pay at the pharmacy?
No. The cap is the ceiling for the manufacturer; wholesale and retail margins are added on top, so the till will show more. Comparing drugs against each other by this figure is valid; budgeting your purchase by it is not.
Why not simply compare every drug with the same ingredient?
Because the answer would be false. One ingredient covers both an ampoule and a canister: the spread reaches thousands of times, but that is a difference in form, not overpayment. We compare only within the same form and dosage. Where a “unit” cannot be defined — solutions, ointments, sprays — we deliberately do not compute a per-unit price.
Does the registry cover every medicine?
No. It covers only the essential-medicines list — 949 active ingredients by our measurement. A drug outside that list is simply absent, and that is not a search error.
Can I use this to replace a prescribed drug?
No. We show registry data, not medical advice. A matching ingredient and dosage do not make two drugs interchangeable for a given person: excipients, coating and release rate differ. That decision belongs to a doctor or pharmacist — the table is convenient to show them.
