Distribution of Medicinal Products in Poland - Light of Legislative Regulations

Aleksandra Czerw and Magdalena Bilińska

The main aim of creating legislation relating to the pharmaceutical industry is ensuring protection of life and health for the society, which uses the services of pharmaceutical companies. The basic legislative act regulating distribution operations on the pharmaceutical market is the Pharmaceutical Law Act (Journal of Laws 2001 No. 126 item 1381). The distribution of medications is also regulated by Good Distribution Practice (GDP). This paper presents and analyses legal regulations from the aspect of specific entities taking part in the distribution process on the pharmaceutical market. The following distribution chain links were analysed and characterised: producers of medicinal products, marketing authorisation holders, importers of medicinal products, pharmaceutical market intermediaries: wholesalers, pharmacies, physicians, non-pharmacy retail outlets. Hypothesis of the following manuscript is that the distribution of medicinal products must be regulated by legislative acts, because it has an influence on the health and life of the population.
