MEDICINES

This Order further amends the Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997 (“the principal Order”) which specifies descriptions and classes of prescription only medicines (i.e. medicinal products which, subject to exemptions, may be sold or supplied by retail, only with a prescription given by an appropriate practitioner, and which may be administered only by or in accordance with the directions of such a practitioner). Under Schedule 1 to the principal Order, products are included in a class of medicines by reason of the substances contained in them, subject to their being excluded in specified circumstances.
