Lithuania Retail Outlets Tender

📄 Tender ID: 441026123 📅 Published: 10 Jan 2019

📋 Tender Overview

With the entry into force of the new non-prescription drug sales regime and the possibility to trade at the retail outlet more than 100 retail outlets such as shops and petrol stations already have marketing authorizations. More business representatives are actively interested in the opportunity to trade non-prescription drugs.According to Vice-Minister of Health Kristina Garuolien it became clear during the first days that this solution proved to be successful and business representatives willingly started to sell non-prescription medicines. This gives people better access to medicines when there is no pharmacy nearby.There are certainly cases for example at night when the patient urgently needs drugs to remove the mild symptoms and the patient knows how to use them but there is no close-to-the-drug pharmacy. Therefore it was envisaged that patients would be allowed to purchase certain medicines at retail outlets. Today we see that this solution has worked. So business people can take the opportunity to trade non-prescription drugs says Vice-Minister Kristina Garuolien.According to Gintautas Barcys Chief of the State Medicines Control Agency LPT retailers wishing to market medicines must complete a request declaration to include them in the list of retail pharmaceutical companies. Also submit the documents specified in the Pharmaceutical Licensing Rules and pay the state fee. The list shall be entered on the list the day after the declaration is lodged. So the next day you can start selling drugs. The application form can be found on the website of the Office httpswww.vvkt.ltParaiskos-licencijai-gauti said the head of the IWC.The head of the IWT also noted that the retailers make mistakes when filling in the request declaration on the list of pharmaceutical retail companies. The main and most often the incorrect addresses of the sites are. It has also turned out that some sites do not have food handler certificates although the declaration says they have. With a declaration and all documents submitted by the company the Service starts an internal inspection within 10 days regarding the compliance of the company with the requirements established in the Pharmaceutical Law. Therefore if these discrepancies are found the Office will inform the company within 5 days and provide a deadline for rectifying the deficiencies. The term may not exceed 90 days. If the deficiencies are not remedied the right of the company to sell the medicines at specific sites will be suspended.The IWT also recalls that medicines are a special commodity and that their inappropriate irrational use can be harmful to health so that only certain non-prescription medicines on a list approved by the Authority can be traded on the alternative sites the exact list of medicines can be found by clicking this link https www.vvkt.ltlitVaisteach-preparat-leave-product-product-preparate-member-product-money-product. It includes medicines for adults or children from 12 years of age with one active substance the smallest packaging available and only the anti-inflammatory drugs for some of the most commonly used groups tobacco addiction treatment antiseptics allergy symptoms and topical medicines. for the treatment of oral and pharyngeal diseases without ethanol.The change in the situation on the pharmaceutical market for example if certain medicines are withdrawn from the market or new ones are included will also change this list of IWTs. Therefore IWT notes that this list of medicines will be reviewed regularly - once a quarter. The new list will be published on the Offices website 30 days before its entry into force.
