Real case: Romania. We put a price control in place, thousands of drugs are no longer available. My brother works for a distributor (they import and distribute, so they don't have any control) and told me the government report on 1200 drugs that disappeared from pharmacies in the past 3-4 years are the important ones, in total there are over 5000 they can no longer import because the controlled price is lower than the bulk price they can buy for.
