Society publishes new MHRA guide for pharmaceutical wholesalers

A new guide for pharmaceutical wholesalers, compiled by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, is now available from the Pharmaceutical Press (the book publishing imprint of the RPS Publishing arm of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society).

Rules and guidance for pharmaceutical distributors’ contains EU and UK guidelines on good wholesaling practice and information on EU and UK legislation affecting distributors of medicines for human use in Europe.

The 96-page paperback guide reproduces the elements of the MHRA’s “Orange guide” (‘Rules and guidance for pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors’) that are specific to wholesale supply and distribution of medicines for human use. The 2007 edition of the “Orange guide” has also been published by the Pharmaceutical Press (PJ, 17 February, p201), after more than 35 years as a Stationery Office publication.

The new guide costs £19.95.

UK orders can be placed by telephone (01767 604 971), fax (01767 601 640) or e-mail (rps@turpin-distribution.com) or through the Pharmaceutical Press website
