The National Union of Pharmacy Owners (Unprofa),  will ask the Third Chamber of the Supreme Court to suspend the decree that establishes discounts on medicines.

It requests the suspension of Executive Decree No. 17 of August 10, which authorizes a list of 170 drugs with a 30% discount from August 15,

The association considers the Executive Decree to be illegal because it threatens the jobs of more than 4,500 employees and generates losses by keeping medicines out of sale and waiting for credit notes from the existing inventory, and this leads to shortages so that the population cannot find their medicines.
