YEREVAN. – Aspirin production has developed in Armenia. 

Pharmacist Vigen Topuzyan, who is Director of the Scientific Technological Center of Organic and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, stated the above-said during a press conference on Wednesday.

In Topuzyan’s words, Armenian companies produce Aspirin with the raw material imported from India and, subsequently, they export this Aspirin to Uzbekistan.   

According to the expert, however, this is not a promising approach.

“The Uzbeks likewise could one day start importing Aspirin raw material from India. And how will we export [Aspirin] at that time?” Topuzyan asked. 

In the distinguished pharmacist’s view, investments need to be made to launch pharmaceutical raw material productions in Armenia; especially since there is no need for a special license for such venture because medical drug raw material production is practically not regulated and not controlled in the country.
