Hello! Is it possible to buy oxaliplatin in Polish pharmacies with a Ukrainian prescription? Ukraine has run out of these drugs :( If so, which pharmacy chain is better to choose?

In pharmacies integrated with GdziePoLek no drug with oxaliplatin is currently available in stock and in my opinion the purchase is unlikely to be possible: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/substancje/oksaliplatyna This is mainly due to the fact that despite a large number of registered oxaliplatin products, those that have a valid registration - to the best of my knowledge of Kabi and Accord - have a "Lz" category - that can only be used in inpatient care (in hospitals). In addition, these drugs are in the form of a concentrate for solution for infusion. This means that trained personnel must administer in safe conditions - the use of cytotoxic drug solutions requires special precautions to ensure the safety of the preparer and his environment. In addition, oxaliplatin is available free of charge in hospitals providing chemotherapy treatment in Poland, which means that patients do not buy it in a pharmacy, but it is administered to them in a clinic. Public pharmacies do not bring this drug to the state. However, please ask at the pharmacy about the possibility of ordering - there may be a product available that can be dispensed on prescription to an individual patient.
