Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation).

The main purpose of these Regulations is to consolidate and to update the controls applicable to the prescription and supply of medicinal products to the public in accordance with the requirements of E.U. Directive 2001/83/EC of 6^th November 2001 insofar as that Directive relates to the classification for the supply of medicinal products for human use (OJ No L311, 28.11.2001. p67). The Regulations also set out the classification for supply of medicinal products to the public as required by that Directive.

The Regulations apply an up-to-date and comprehensive system of control to medicinal products and identify those products which may only be supplied on medical prescription. The circumstances excluding medicinal products from prescription-only control are also specified and incorporates a pharmacy-only category into which most such non-prescription products fall.

The Regulations up-date the list of medicinal products subject to prescription control and de-regulate certain other products, which were previously subject to prescription control. In recognition of Ireland's position as part of the E.U. Internal Market, the term “supply” is defined in the broader context, so that the controls apply equally to supplies made to persons in the State and to persons who may at the time be in another Member State of the European Union. In this connection also, the supply of medicinal products by mail order is prohibited, as is the supply by means of automatic vending machines.

The Regulations also impose particular restrictions on the sale of medicinal products containing paracetamol. In this context they prescribe maximum pack size for products when sold in pharmacies and in non-pharmacies. They set out the precautionary and warning statements that must appear on the packs and they prohibit the sale of multiple packs in the course of a single transaction. They also require that all solid unit dosage forms be included in blister packs or other equivalent form on packaging with appropriate exemptions for supplies made on prescription.

Certain exemptions are also provided in respect of certain low strength homeopathic medicinal products, which will be available to the public without a prescription and also in the case of certain extemporaneously prepared herbal medicinal products that are used by medical herbalists who are not medical practitioners.

In addition, the Regulations set out the restrictions relating to the dispensing of prescriptions, the conditions for emergency supply of prescription-only medicinal products by pharmacists, the requirements for the labelling of dispensed medicinal products and for pharmacy records and a prohibition on the supply of medicinal products after their expiry dates.

Copies may be obtained from the Government Publications Sale Office, Sun Alliance House, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 or by mail order from Government Publications, Postal Trade Section, 51 St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Fax no: 01 6476843, Price €12.19.
