UK drug ad change
September 17, 2010
THE UK Medicines and
Healthcare products Regulatory
Agency has confirmed a change in
the way in which “appropriately
authorised wholesale dealers and
manufacturers can make
healthcare professionals aware of
the unlicensed medicines they have
available”.
Effective 19 Aug holders of a
licence permitting the manufcature,
importation and/or distribution of
unlicensed medicines can now
issue a price list to healthcare
professionals “without having first
received a bona fide unsolicited
order”.
No product claims may be
included in the price list, which can
only contain reference numbers,
drug names, dosage forms,
strengths, pack sizes and prices.
Other restrictions are unchanged,
meaning that unlicensed medicines
cannot be advertised to the public.
