Deregulation of nonprescription medicines in Sweden-a look at the control system
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Sales of nonprescription medicines (NPMs) in retail outlets in Sweden have been permitted since 2009. The conditions are that sales are reported to the Medicine Product Agency (MPA) and that the owners of the retail outlets fulfill legal requirements. The MPA has an overall supervisory function, whereas municipalities are responsible for the actual control. This is mainly executed through inspections.
