DTI to drug firms:Hold prices at present levels

The Department of Trade and Industry appealed to drug manufacturers to hold prices of
medicines steady.

However, the Bureau of Food and Drugs in Dumaguete City received no formal complaint on prices of medicine from local consumers.

But only two complaints regarding the non-issuance by drug stores of the 20% senior citizen discount on medicines were reported to the BFAD office here since January this year.
