Pharmaceutical Track&Trace System
Pharmaceutical Track & Trace System tracks and traces products covered by the Human Medicinal Products Labeling and Packaging Regulation. This includes prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, as well as medical nutrition products.
In this regard, every unit where these products are sold and consumed is comprised by the system.
Prescription Medicines
These medicines can only be received from pharmacies with a clinician’s prescription.
Non-Prescription Medicines
These medicines can be sold as both prescribed and over-the-counter, and they are only available from pharmacies. It is mandatory for over-the-counter medications to be licensed, and the sale of unlicensed drugs is prohibited.
Medical Nutrition Products
These products, also known as nutritional supplements, can be used to provide nutritional support to patients for medical reasons, as they have protective and development-supporting properties. When given to patients for medical reasons, they're called ‘Medical Nutrition Products’.
Some medical nutrition products are included in the Pharmaceutical Track & Trace System because reimbursement institutions consider them reimbursable. Other nutritional products are out of the scope.
