In the first issue of each month The Journal updates the guidance on the legal status of medicines published in the 25th (July 2001) edition of 'Medicines, ethics and practice: A guide for pharmacists'. The amendments are given in bold type when added to the list and repeated each month in light type. A product's legal status can be obtained by consulting first the latest amendment list and then the guide. The abbreviations used in the list are explained in the key to annotations in the body of the guide (p27 and p73). |
