The pharmacy should regularly monitor medications. This will ensure that quality standards are met, as well as safety of use. Thanks to modern technologies, analysis methods are regularly improved.

The main tasks of drug monitoring:

1. Make sure that medications are safe for the human body.
2. Check the necessary effect on the body, which will allow the patient to get rid of a specific disease.
3. Comply with established quality standards, as well as manufacturing technologies.

Monitoring during drug treatment

The optimal method for determining the required dosage of the active ingredient is laboratory testing.

For example, after a person has taken a drug, a blood test is performed. It must contain a certain number of active components. The main thing is that the drug is effective, but does not cause harm to the body.

Drug monitoring is organized in the following cases:

1. When receiving messages from people regarding drugs sold in your pharmacy.
2. If there are side effects, including those that are not prescribed in the official instructions for the drug.
3. In case of undesirable reactions of the body, which have led to the occurrence of various anomalies, as well as the development of a threat to health and life, which require immediate hospitalization. This also applies to cases when a person loses his ability to work or becomes disabled.
4. In case of undesirable effects that appeared after using the product in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
5. To calculate the characteristics of the effect of a drug when used in combination with other drugs.

High-quality monitoring of medicines allows you to ensure the absence of violations or identify their presence. The data obtained allow us to verify the safety of the drug and the absence of dangerous side effects on the body.

Drug safety testing

From time to time, safety checks on the use of medicines should be carried out. As a result of the studies, specific data on the safety of the drug will be obtained.

Drug monitoring results

All results must be sent to the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for subsequent study of the possibility of making certain changes to the instructions for use of the drug. In some cases, an act is issued that prohibits the sale of a medicine if it has been found to be hazardous to health.

Monitoring of medicines can be carried out in any pharmacy upon receipt of a complaint from a client or due to other reasons that we discussed above.

If, as a result of research, it is confirmed that the use of a medicine is dangerous and the data provided by the manufacturer does not correspond to reality, the issue of banning the sale of this medicine will be considered. In this case, it should be withdrawn from sale in all pharmacies in the country. Only in exceptional cases is it possible to make changes to the instructions for use.

Suspension of drug sales

The issue of a possible ban on the drug upon receipt of confirmed data on the harmful effects on the body that were not prescribed in the instructions, as well as adverse reactions associated with the use of the drug, is considered as soon as possible. The same applies to the occurrence of side effects after using the medicine together with other drugs. This is also associated with a threat to the life and health of the patient.

If any violations are detected, a thorough investigation is carried out, after which the drug is removed from sale until the negative aspects are completely corrected.

After this, the drug will be re-tested, and if it is found safe, it will go on sale again. Drug monitoring can improve the quality of drugs sold in pharmacies.

Operational monitoring of medicines was introduced by a government commission to support economic growth in the country and improve the welfare of all segments of the population. The decision was approved by the protocol formalized in the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation 277n in May 2009.

The goal of the actions of Roszdravnadzor, whose employees are entrusted with the main responsibilities, is the affordability of medicines for the population. Operational monitoring of medicines checks the assortment and pricing policy of clinics and pharmacies.

Operational monitoring will help perform several tasks:

• objectively assess the situation on the pharmaceutical market;
• identify negative trends in a timely manner and correct them.

The result of the inspections will be a report that will appear on the Roszdravnadzor website and the state price register.

Checking prices for vital drugs

Separately, it is worth highlighting the provision of vital and essential drugs (VED). Federal legislation clearly defines the regulation of the circulation of these medical products, and since 2010, state regulation of prices for them has been introduced.

According to WHO definition, drugs of vital necessity and importance include those that:

• correspond to the goals of medical care of the population;
• are significant for the country's health objectives;
• have proven effectiveness and safety;
• differ in economic efficiency.

Solving the problems of the pharmaceutical market

The problem of regulating the range and prices in the pharmaceutical market of the Russian Federation remains relevant, since the share of available drugs is decreasing every year, inflated prices for products are set, and regional and municipal purchases are becoming more expensive compared to federal ones.

The government publishes an updated list based on medical statistics:

1. The list of drugs in this category is approved annually.
2. Operational monitoring has the main goal - to ensure the prevention and treatment of diseases that predominate in terms of incidence among the population of the Russian Federation.

Priority healthcare needs are named in Law No. 61-FZ, namely in paragraph 6, article 4.

State price register

The regional portal for pharmaceutical activities and drug supply farmcom.info contains all the legislative acts regulating the circulation of medicines. On this website you can get complete information about reporting:

• for medical purposes;
• a list of drugs prescribed by medical commissions;
• a list of medications for people with hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, pituitary dwarfism, Gaucher disease, blood cancer, multiple sclerosis, and patients after organ transplantation.

Operational monitoring of prices for vital drugs by Roszdravnadzor is intended to make the most necessary medicines more accessible to socially vulnerable segments of the population. On the website you can find out about the requirements for the minimum range of medical care products for pharmacies with production activities, pharmacy points and kiosks.

A register of prices for vital and essential drugs is presented for each specific period in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The table contains information about the name of the medicine, trade name, manufacturer, release form and price.

Monitoring stages

The Law on State Regulation of Prices determines that operational monitoring of Roszdravnadzor on vital and essential drugs is carried out in several stages:

1. Approval of a list of products under chemical names that do not have a patent and are recognized throughout the world. Drugs must be used for the treatment, prevention or detection of diseases characteristic of the population of the Russian Federation, have advantages over other drugs, and have pharmacological properties that are equivalent to similar drugs.
2. A methodology is established for calculating the limit retail prices for drugs from the list.
3. State registration of drugs and the prices set for them by manufacturers is carried out.
4. Methods are being approved for determining by executive authorities the boundary levels of wholesale and retail markups on prices offered by manufacturers of vital and essential drugs.
5. The procedure for issuing orders to approve allowances is established in accordance with the law. Instructions are sent to executive authorities on the established boundaries of wholesale and retail markups.
6. Conducting federal state supervision in the field of circulation of medicines and control at the regional level over price levels by authorized executive authorities of the federation and at the level of constituent entities. Operational monitoring will allow you to receive information in a timely manner.
7. Bringing to justice persons who violate the procedure for setting prices for vital drugs.

Regular price monitoring

Operational monitoring of prices for life-saving drugs is carried out in accordance with Order No. 277n.

Medical and pharmacy organizations must register on the Roszdravnadzor website in the “Operational Monitoring” section before June 1, 2012. Each organization issues an order and appoints a responsible person who provides data electronically and in paper form, according to the proposed form, with the signatures of managers.

Operational monitoring of vital and essential drugs is the responsibility of medical and pharmacy organizations of any form of ownership. Every month, before the 25th day, a report is submitted that lists the stocks on the 15th day of the reporting period for drugs from the list of vital and essential drugs:

• pharmacies report at the place of trading activity;
• treatment and preventive organizations provide reports on branches.

Heads of pharmacies and medical organizations are responsible for high-quality, reliable and complete information.

Regulations on price monitoring

The range and prices of drugs in pharmacies and treatment and prevention organizations are subject to monitoring. The basis for inspections is a list of essential medications.

Operational monitoring of prices for vital drugs by Roszdravnadzor is carried out on the basis of a list of drugs, from which a list for verification is generated indicating:

• trade name;
• dosage form;
• dosage;
• manufacturing company.

The basis for the formation of the list is the declaration of conformity of medicines. The list is received by the departments of Roszdravnadzor of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. If the specified drug is not available in pharmacies and medical institutions for two months, then the list is adjusted at the local level.

Who is required to file reports?

According to the law, not all pharmacies and medical institutions are required to participate in monitoring on a monthly basis, but their number must reach at least 15% of the total number for a given subject of the Russian Federation.

Specifically, the structure of inspected organizations for each subject of the Russian Federation should include 25% of pharmacies, of which 25% are federal and municipal and 50% are private organizations.

Accountable organizations should include:

• specialized and multidisciplinary medical institutions of republics, regions, territories and districts;
• city ​​hospitals in cities with a population of over 250 thousand people (4 institutions from each subject);
• municipal institutions (at least 5);
• central district hospitals (at least 3).

Operational monitoring is carried out in all treatment and preventive organizations with federal subordination.

If there are no pharmacies in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, then the number of monitoring participants increases at the expense of municipal institutions. The following ratio between pharmacies, pharmacy points and kiosks in the report structure is provided - 30:60:10.

Reporting and analytics

The operational monitoring system is multi-stage. Every month, information about medicines in stock on the 15th is collected from pharmacies and medical institutions of each subject of the Russian Federation that is subject to monthly inspection. No later than the 5th day of the next month, local authorities of Roszdravnadzor provide a summary report for each subject in electronic and paper form, in accordance with the forms specified by law. Additional information for analytics specified in the annexes in the Regulations is also provided.

The task of Roszdravnadzor is, based on the reports received, no later than the 10th day of the next month to provide data on the drug supply to the population in electronic and paper form to the Department for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Market and the Medical Equipment Market of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

The report must contain specific detailed information:

• structure of the pharmaceutical market by segments of retail, wholesale, production, hospitals;
• volumes and structure of drugs consumed;
• providing medicines to citizens of certain categories;
• analysis of price levels for medicines;
• review of surcharges in the list of vital and essential drugs in wholesale and retail;
• a list of measures taken to curb price increases.

The department, no later than the 15th day of the next month, prepares a draft report to the government on monitoring of drugs and the range of drugs, measures taken to ensure the availability and quality of medical care. The report is signed by the Minister of Health.

Features of filling out forms

When filling out reports, pharmacy and medical organizations indicate not only the name, manufacturer, dosage of the drug, but also other data:

• replacement of the drug if it is unavailable on the monitoring date, within one generic name;
• the name of the wholesaler who supplies medicines in the event that a specific drug is not in stock;
• reasons for the absence of the drug and timing of the resumption of supplies.

Operational price monitoring serves to improve the quality of medicine supply to hospitals and the population through pharmacy chains.

The building of the Moscow Mining Academy. 1930

The history of NUST MISIS goes back to the distant past, when the Moscow Mining Academy (MGA) was founded in 1918. MHA, created on the basis of the mining faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology, which was evacuated to Moscow during the First World War, became one of the first technical universities in Soviet Russia. Despite the fact that the Civil War was going on and devastation reigned in the country, the academy was actively working within a year, attracting the best scientific and teaching personnel of that time. Initially, MHA was conceived as an exclusively educational institution, but already in the first years of its existence, research laboratories were created in it, which later grew into separate research institutes. Thus, already in 1919, Academy scientists studied the properties of radioactive elements, for which a special department was established, and the course “Radioactive Substances” was included in the curriculum.

The Academy's teachers and its graduates are a galaxy of outstanding specialists who made a tremendous contribution to the development of Soviet industry and, until the 50s, determined the agenda of all specialized scientific areas (materials science, metallurgy, mining and geological exploration). For example, through the efforts of I.M. Gubkin, active oil and gas exploration began in the USSR, during which, in particular, the Volga-Ural oil and gas basin, called the “Second Baku,” was discovered. Gubkin came up with the idea of ​​a large-scale study of the Kursk magnetic anomaly, which led to the discovery of the world's largest iron ore deposit. MGA graduate E.P. Slavsky headed the Soviet nuclear project for almost thirty years, being the Minister of Medium Engineering of the USSR. A.P. Zavenyagin, who also studied at the Moscow State University and became the first rector of the Moscow Institute of Steel, headed the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, and later headed the construction of the Norilsk Mining and Metallurgical Plant. In the post-war years, he served as Minister of Medium Engineering and Chairman of the Committee on the Use of Atomic Energy. For many years, the ferrous metallurgy of the USSR was headed by I.F. Tevosyan, and non-ferrous metallurgy was headed by P.F. Lomako.

Leonid Weisberg, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mekhanobr-Tekhnika, member of the International Scientific Council of NUST MISIS

“The Moscow Mining Academy was formed precisely when the country needed industrialization and specialists in the field of mineral resources were needed. The Academy provided leaders to the industry. These were iconic people who did a lot for their country. The current generation of NUST MISIS students is lucky - they study at a university where fantastic conditions for living and studying have been created.”

With the onset of large-scale industrialization, the Moscow State University was reorganized and divided into six industry colleges: mining, ferrous metallurgy, non-ferrous metals and gold, peat, oil and geological exploration. By order of the first rector Zavenyagin, the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy was almost immediately renamed the Moscow Institute of Steel (MIS). In those days, the country needed specialists and industrial organizers like air, who were able to manage technological processes at large industrial facilities immediately after graduating from university, who were able to create new units and technologies, new materials. The development of metallurgy largely determined the level of many other sectors of the national economy, as well as the level of the country's defense capability. After graduating from MIS, young engineers went to production, and during the years of the first five-year plans they managed to solve the most difficult task - to modernize Soviet industry. By the end of the 30s, the country's technical and economic backwardness was practically eliminated.

During the terrible years of the Great Patriotic War, the very salvation of the country depended on whether the industry’s flagships would be able to solve new, sometimes seemingly unsolvable, problems that arose in Soviet industry. Miners and metallurgists managed to do the impossible. So, in 1941-42. A grandiose evacuation of large industrial facilities was carried out, which has no analogues in world history. The most important role in the removal of factories to the eastern regions of the country and the launch of these facilities was played by graduates of the institutes. They showed not only the highest professionalism, but also combat courage - often the equipment had to be evacuated under enemy fire. As a result of the heroic efforts of home front workers, already in 1943 the shortage of metal for the country's defense factories was eliminated. The contribution of the institute’s specialists to the creation of new alloys for military equipment, without which it is impossible to imagine the Great Victory, is invaluable. As a result, for successful work in training personnel for the ferrous metallurgy, MIS received its first award in 1944 - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

If in the pre-war period the institute focused on training engineers for industrial enterprises, then after the war research work became a priority. New scientific schools were formed, the research profile expanded, more and more laboratories were opened - the institute was transformed into a polytechnic university, which, meeting the requirements of the time, now trained not only metallurgists, but also physical chemists, specialists in semiconductor and radioactive materials. These personnel were, in particular, in great demand in two main Soviet projects of the post-war years - atomic and space. Engineers and scientists of the institute, which since 1962 received the name Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, were directly involved in the creation and development of high technologies for space and nuclear programs.

The reform of the institute's activities, which reoriented MISiS to solve new problems of national importance in the development of materials science, was carried out by the rector of MIS V.P. Elyutin - an outstanding statesman, metallurgist and teacher. Having graduated from MIS in 1930, already in 1945 he headed the institute, and it was Elyutin who initiated the opening of the Faculty of Physical Chemistry, which launched the process of “scientific modernization” of the university. Three new faculties were opened at the institute, and over a decade and a half, MISiS turned from an industrial metallurgical institute into a multidisciplinary polytechnic university. This breakthrough was ensured by such representatives of the institute’s management as rectors V.I. Yavoisky, P.I. Polukhin, Vice-Rector V.A. Romenets et al.

Anatoly Sedykh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of OMK, graduate of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys

“When I entered MISiS in 1982, Vladimir Andreevich Romenets was the first vice-rector and professor. He taught us the course “Introduction to the Specialty.” And it was at Vladimir Andreevich’s lectures that I realized that I had made the absolutely right choice by deciding to become a metallurgist. Vladimir Andreevich was in love with metallurgy and his profession. And this, of course, infected everyone around him.

He achieved enormous success in the development of our industry, made dozens of breakthrough discoveries that are still used throughout the world today. In addition, Vladimir Andreevich made a huge contribution to the development of the MISiS infrastructure.”

It must be said that V. Elyutin’s reform activities were not limited to the scale of the university. Later, as Minister of Higher and Secondary Special Education of the USSR, which he held for several decades, from 1954 to 1985, it was Elyutin who created the famous late Soviet system of higher education, which delighted the whole world. The current NUST MISIS, developing the potential formed by Elyutin, honors and enhances the traditions of the domestic engineering school.

Continuing the glorious centuries-old history in the present

View of the building of the new building of the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. 1980

Today, NUST MISIS, like MISiS and MGI in their time, is directly involved in shaping the country’s educational and scientific agenda, together with government agencies and the business community, solving engineering and research problems aimed at strengthening the well-being of Russia and its scientific potential, to build a digital economy.

As one of the leading technical universities in Russia, the university is actively developing such strategically important areas for the country as biomedicine, nanotechnology and IT, while remaining a leader in its traditional areas: materials science, metallurgy and mining.

Having become one of the winners of the Program for Improving the Competitiveness of Leading Russian Universities among World Research and Educational Centers (Project 5-100) in 2013, NUST MISIS pays great attention to the development of the university as the leading research and educational center in the country.

NUST MISIS became the winner of the megagrant competition of the Russian Government five times, as a result of which laboratories were created that are today leaders in their fields not only in Russia, but also abroad. Thus, under the leadership of Professor Alexey Ustinov, who heads the “Superconducting Metamaterials” laboratory at NUST MISIS, a group of Russian scientists first measured and then created the first domestic qubit. Having started working on quantum technologies in 2011, today the university is one of the leaders in this area - in 2018, the university won the Russian Venture Company competition to create the NTI Center for Quantum Communications. In the future, the NTI Center will become the basis for the formation of a consortium, which will also include the Russian Quantum Center, the Steklov Mathematical Institute, RANEPA, TSU and other specialized organizations.

NUST MISIS cooperates with the world's leading scientific centers, takes part in international collaborations at the MegaScience level - LHCb, SHiP, Horizon 2020. In 2017, the University created the MegaScience Center for Infrastructure Interaction and Partnership, the main goal of which is to coordinate the university’s international cooperation in the field of large-scale scientific and educational projects, development of academic mobility. In the same year, NUST MISIS became the first Russian university to sign a cooperation agreement with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the practical result of which was a joint course to train young specialists to develop promising technologies and materials for searching for new physical effects in experiments CERN.

During participation in Project 5-100, more than 30 research laboratories and engineering centers were created at the university, which are not inferior to the best foreign centers in terms of the intensity of scientific work and are headed by leading scientists from Russia and the world. The created research infrastructure has made it possible to significantly increase the volume of research - NUST MISIS, together with business partners, carries out more than 500 research and development works per year. As a result, during this time the university’s publication activity more than doubled, and the citation rate of articles more than tripled. Today, the university ranks first among universities participating in the 5-100 Project in terms of the number of publications in the field of engineering and materials science over the past five years.

Continuing a century-old tradition, the university works very closely with business and the number of partner companies is approaching two thousand. Among them are the largest domestic and foreign metallurgical, raw materials, energy companies, leaders in the IT and financial markets. These include corporations such as Metalloinvest, OMK, Rosatom, Karakan-invest, Severstal, Sberbank, Vnesheconombank, Norilsk Nickel, RUSAL and many others. Today, this cooperation is not limited to joint research projects; much attention is paid to educational programs aimed at training and retraining qualified specialists, as well as social projects.

Andrey Varichev, General Director of Management Company "Metalloinvest"

“Metalloinvest fruitfully cooperates with NUST MISIS and its branches in Stary Oskol and Novotroitsk. Our company employs hundreds of university graduates, and students actively do internships at the Metalloinvest Innovation Center. Now, on the basis of the university, under the advanced training program “Institute of Production Leaders”, 206 employees of our enterprises are improving their technical competencies, improving their design work skills, and learning digital transformation.

I would like to note the steel-smelting laboratory launched at OEMK this year. Its core is a vacuum induction furnace with a small load. It makes it possible to quickly conduct experimental melts in small volumes. The laboratory can produce special steels and alloys of complex composition. This allows OEMK to solve almost any problem related to the development of new steel grades.

A source of pride is the educational and career guidance exhibition center “Zhelezno!”, which we opened in 2014 together with the Polytechnic Museum and NUST MISIS. The project has become a center of attraction for schoolchildren and youth, supporting the prestige and prospects of the metallurgical professions.”

Due to this interaction, global modernization of production and commercialization of scientific developments are taking place. Thus, this year, by order of PJSC Severstal, a giant of Russian metallurgy, NUST MISIS scientists developed a new alloy for oil pipelines, which will double their service life and reduce environmental risks from oil production. In 2017, the university, together with RUSAL, one of the world's largest aluminum producers, established the Institute of Lightweight Materials and Technologies (ILMT). Here, new materials are created for various high-tech branches of mechanical engineering and additive technologies and aluminum-ion batteries are developed.

As a result of the transformations that are still taking place at the university today, NUST MISIS is included in the subject rankings of THE, QS and ARWU in six areas at once, taking 30th place in the world in the category “Engineering - Mining” and entering the TOP 100 in the direction of “Engineering - Metallurgy”. As a leading Russian university in the field of materials science, the university ranks 201+ in the world.

“Inclusion in the global and subject rankings of the best universities in the world is a natural result of the systematic work and systematic policy of NUST MISIS for the development of priority scientific areas. In fact, we are now receiving the results of the work that began in 2013-14 - to create research laboratories and scientific and educational centers, which were headed by leading scientists from Russia and the world as a result of winning open international competitions, intensifying scientific research, and as a result - increasing the number of publications in scientific journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases.”

Since the university maintains close ties with hundreds of foreign universities through academic mobility, double degree and internship programs, great emphasis is placed on the study of foreign languages. In 2011, NUST MISIS and the University of Cambridge launched a unique language program Touchstone@Misis specifically for engineering students. An example of international scientific cooperation between universities is the collaboration with the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the University of Naples. Frederick II (UNINA), along with NUST MISIS participating in the ShiP experiment of the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

As a leading technical university, a forge of highly professional engineering personnel, NUST MISIS takes an active part in creating conditions for the country’s transition to a digital economy.

In particular, the university, together with Vnesheconombank, opened Russia’s first Blockchain Competence Center in 2017, bringing together the world’s leading experts and Russian practitioners to implement pilot projects based on blockchain technologies in various fields of activity: from registering real estate transactions to monitoring drug supply chains .

In recent years, leading universities have been looking for ways to reduce the time spent on mastering educational material and increase the efficiency of the educational process. The best results were shown by MOOC (massive open online courses) and Blended Learning formats. In 2015, NUST MISIS, together with seven leading Russian universities, founded the National Open Education Platform, which today hosts more than 300 online courses. In 2017, the university became a participant in the priority project in the field of education “Modern digital educational environment in the Russian Federation”, aimed at increasing the accessibility of quality education for all citizens of the country. Contributing to the search for new, best teaching practices and their implementation, NUST MISIS became the ideologist and organizer of Europe's largest global conference on technologies in education #EdCrunch.

NUST MISIS has been and remains true to the traditions laid down since the founding of the Moscow Mining Academy - to contribute to the scientific and technological progress of the country, promptly responding to the challenges of the era.

“Over 100 years, MGA has come a bright path. All activities of the Moscow Mining Academy and the institutes created on its basis are inextricably linked with the history of the country. Being at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, the university has always responded to the challenges of the time: it participated in the creation of the largest projects of the era of industrialization, was involved in the post-war reconstruction of the country, was an active participant in atomic and space projects, formed scientific schools known today throughout the world and developed international academic cooperation. We are opening a new century, setting ourselves the goal of becoming one of the best technical universities in the world. We have everything we need for this: the right strategy, highly professional teachers and staff, talented students, and the support of our business partners.”
