EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The main purpose of these Regulations is to establish the classification for supply of medical preparations with a view to giving effect, on an on-going basis, to E.C Council Directive 92/26/EEC of 31st March, 1992 concerning the classification for the supply of medicinal products for human use (O.J. No. L 113,30.4.92, p.5).

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

The Regulations up-date the list of medical preparations subject to prescription control and de-regulate certain preparations (e.g. oral nicotine preparations for those wishing to stop smoking) which were previously subject subject to prescription control. The Regulations also make certain adjustments arising out of Ireland's position as part of the E.C. Internal Market which came into being on 1st January, 1993 (e.g. supply has been re-defined in the broader context of the European Community).

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

Special record keeping requirements are established in the case of medical preparations containing mefipristone (RU 486) for which prescriptions may only be dispensed in a hospital.
