Non-pharmacy-only medicines in retail

tiger.PHARMA supports retailers with product classification, competence, assortment, procurement, storage, labelling and controlled sale of medicines that may legally be sold outside pharmacies.

Not every OTC medicine may be sold outside pharmacies. Product status, channel and operational requirements must be checked for every item; legal questions and authority requirements cannot be replaced by generic lists.

May retailers sell every OTC medicine?
