US pharma major Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMS) is reducing its Russian portfolio of drugs by the suspension of the imports of some of them to the local market, according to the company, reports The Pharma Letter’s local correspondent.

The drug is currently in the list of those which are purchased by the Ministry of Health for patients with HIV, AIDS, hepatitis B, C and tuberculosis.
