SELECTED SAFETY FEATURES FOR MEDICINES SOLD IN TRADITIONAL PHARMACIES

Marek Stych

Abstract


Nowadays, every EU resident can easily find advertisements of non-prescription medicinal products (over-the-counter drugs) on the Internet. They get to mailboxes as the so-called commercial information or can be seen on websites devoted to health in general or a specific disease. Certain drugs can also be found on various websites or via search engines. It is thus possible for patients to buy medicines through legal websites run by traditional pharmacies, but also through websites run by shady entities that can not be considered pharmacies or any other entities. That is why additional safety features for batches and individual packagings of medicines introduced on 9 February 2019 are so important.
