Rhosephyn. By Marvin Hernandez Monzon, Cuba Press.

Rhosephyn is a wide-ranging antibiotic with great hospital demand. It is specifically exported to the Dominican Republic, as it was revealed to us by a health specialist in the central region of Cuba. Even though it is produced in Cuba, this medication is lacking in Cuban hospitals which attend to the people. The doctor explained that Rhosephyn is very useful in the treatment of respiratory infections. Due to its unavailability, doctors have to turn to other sources of medication which retard the cure of the patients, extend their stay, and in general, raise costs and expenses.
