About this statute

This preamble says the instrument contains rules implementing parts of several EU acts and explains key terms like prescription, dose dispensing, magistral medicines, and medicine requisitions. Medicines are generally prescription-only if they may affect patient safety or pose health risks without medical supervision; medicines for food-producing animals are also prescription-only unless all listed safety and use conditions are met. When deciding which medicines should be subject to special surveillance, the authority places particular weight on medicines with certain narcotic substances, medicines that may pose misuse or dependence risks if used improperly, and medicines with new or special properties that should be covered for safety reasons. Some medicines are always prescription-only, and the Medicines Agency classifies prescription medicines into specified dispensing groups. Pharmacies may only dispense medicines in group “A § 4” once per the same prescription, subject to an unfinished exception in the text. Apoteker may only dispense certain medicine groups under specific limits and conditions, and some groups may only be dispensed to hospitals or with special authorisation.
