Regeringen har besluttet at udvide en undersøgelse af det internationale lægemiddelmarked efter meldinger om mangel på østrogenpræparater.

Flere kvinder bliver behandlet for overgangsalderens symptomer, men adgangen til østrogenpræparater mangler til tider. Tand- og Lægemiddelstyrelsen skal på regeringens opdrag undersøge, hvordan Sveriges betalingsvillighed påvirker patienternes adgang til nye behandlinger.

Socialminister Jakob Forssmed skriver i et debatindlæg, at regeringen analyserer, hvordan ændringer i omverdenen påvirker adgangen til medicin i Sverige. De svenske priser på ny medicin ligger 18 procent under det europæiske gennemsnit.

Organisationen LIF byder beslutningen velkommen. Deres administrerende direktør Sofia Wallström siger, at omkostningseffektivitet er vigtig, men at lave priser aldrig kan være et mål i sig selv.
