Rosselkhoznadzor initiated the blocking of Internet sites selling medicinal products for veterinary use in violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation

In the period from December 2022 to February 6, 2023, the employees of the Department analyzed the information posted on 94 Internet pages containing offers for the retail sale of medicines remotely.

Of these, in 78 cases, offers for the purchase of medicines were placed by persons who did not have a special permit (license) for the retail trade in medicines for veterinary use, including in 9 cases, medicines that did not pass state registration on the territory of the Customs Union were offered for sale.

To block the identified Internet resources, the information was sent to the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Communications (Roskomnadzor).

Upon consideration of mass appeals sent by the Department, Roskomnadzor blocked 43 information resources, in 5 cases Roskomnadzor denied blocking due to the lack of confirmation of the placement of illegal content on the sites. The remaining applications are under consideration.
