After Aifa’s grip on prescriptions, a point on how much is needed, for whom, with what dosages. With Maria Luisa Brandi, president Firmo
The Aifa, the Italian Medicines Agency, has tightened on the prescription of vitamin D, which will be guaranteed to certain categories, but will be difficult to obtain for many others.
