Serum: the most expensive drug in the country in 1404.
Director General of the Monitoring and Supervision Office at the Food and Drug Organization:
🔹 Injectable serums were ranked last year as the most expensive drugs in Israel in terms of consumption costs.
🔹 The irrational use of these products not only imposes financial burdens on families and the health system, but also takes away resources that should be allocated to patients in real distress.
🔹Serum is only necessary when a patient needs fluids by injection. Determining this necessity is the doctor's responsibility; Mere weakness or fatigue alone does not justify the prescription of serum.
