DOH lists medicines price freeze in ‘Carina’-hit areas
By J.Lo
Medicines covered by government’s price freeze, Department of Health (DOH) notified public hit by Typhoon Carina and southwest monsoon.
Price freeze applies to Metro Manila, Batangas, Cavite, Bataan, Bulacan, Cainta in Rizal and Pinamalayan in Oriental Mindoro, DOH said.
List of medicines price freeze applies can be accessed here includes doxycycline, antibiotic used to treat leptospirosis, bacterial disease acquired from contaminated floodwaters. Each 100-mg capsule of doxycycline can be sold for up to P128 only, based on DOH’s list.
DOH said public can report incidents of overpricing and violations of price freeze through DOH’s hotlines or through its email pddrugpricemonitoring@gmail.com.
Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) also reminds consumers and retailers that Republic Act 7581 or Price Act mandates prices in areas placed under state of calamity or emergency “shall be frozen at their prevailing prices under automatic price control for period of 60 days unless sooner lifted.”
Besides medicines, DTI’s price freeze applies to essential goods such as rice, corn, bread, fresh vegetables, roots crops, pork, beef, poultry and eggs.
Other items that fall under price freeze are milk, coffee, sugar, cooking oil, salt, laundry soap, detergent, firewood, charcoal and candles.
Trade Secretary Alfred Pascual earlier urged businesses to adhere to price freeze and said government will strictly monitor prices of items to ensure compliance.
