Publisher Summary The underlying principle of MA1968 control on the retail sales of medicines is that they should normally be supplied through pharmacies. There are three main exceptions to that. First, certain medicines are designated by Statutory Instruments as those that may be sold to the public by an ordinary shop. Secondly, medicines may be sold by a hospital or health center even where there is no pharmacy if the products are sold or supplied in the course of the business of the hospital or health center and are for the purpose of being administered in accordance with the directions of a doctor or dentist. Thirdly, Patient Group Directions may empower certain health professionals to supply medicines to the public in accordance with protocols. This supply may take place anywhere. The general sale list is a list of medicines that can be sold, with reasonable safety, without the supervision of a pharmacist. The sales have to take place from proper shops, that is, the shops that can be closed to exclude the public. This prohibits sales being made from vans or other vehicles, or from open market stalls. There is a separate list of products that may be sold from automatic vending machines. |
