Why is immunoglobulin for pregnant women unavailable in Nizhny Novgorod pharmacies?

      May 8, 2026 16:28 Society NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" - Maria Orlova Anti-Rh immunoglobulin RHO[D] is temporarily unavailable in the retail pharmacy network of the region. The drug is necessary for pregnant women with a negative Rh factor if the father of the child has a positive Rh or his status is unknown. It can be obtained for free at the hospital under the compulsory medical insurance policy or purchased independently at the pharmacy. As reported by NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" from GP "Nizhny Novgorod Regional Pharmacy," the immunoglobulin is unavailable because the foreign manufacturer is undergoing price re-registration, and the domestic supplier, OBUS "Ivanovo Regional Blood Transfusion Station," does not have the drug. It is expected that supplies of immunoglobulin to the territory of Russia may resume approximately in the third quarter of 2026. The NFO added: the drug can be obtained for providing medical assistance in a hospital setting. According to "Izvestia," anti-Rh immunoglobulin is absent in pharmacies in 75 regions of Russia. In other subjects, as noted by the publication, the drug is also practically unavailable, with only one package listed in some regions. It was previously reported that in 2025, prices for medicines in the Nizhny Novgorod region increased by 14%. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
