La dispensation pharmaceutique de médicaments en France. Partie IÂ : état des lieux de la réglementation applicable

Over the past decade, France has experienced two major reforms of its health system. Reform constitutes of the law of March the 4th 2002 has upset the relationship between health professionals and patients by introducing into the Public Health Code (CSP) a set of provisions on the right of patients and users of the health system (first legislative and regulatory part of the CSP). Reform of July, the 22nd 2009 at amending the relationships between different health professionals by encouraging them to work more through multiple channels (multidisciplinary meeting, personalized patient education…). Furthermore, this reform ended the division between the hospital, that of “city” and the medico-social environment. Consequently, drug regulation has been largely modified from the pivotal role of the pharmacist among health professionals. Nevertheless, the publication of Good Dispensing Practices (BPD) announced in the CSP are still not published. Thus waiting for the publication of these BPD, it seemed appropriate to produce a summary as complete as possible on the regulations related to pharmaceutical dispensing.
