Dear mr Domosbian, In Norway article 14 in our "Norwegian Medicinal Products Act" states: 'Medicinal products shall, with the exemptions provided by the Act, only be sold in pharmacies or by authorised wholesale distributors. Articles, which according to the Act, are classified as medicinal products, and are intended for technical, scientific or other non-medical purposes, can be sold by manufacturers and retailers if this is in accordance with the regulations laid down by the Ministry. The croen can decide that certain commonly used non/prescription medicinal products can be sold by retailers not holding a special licence, if this is in accordance with the regulations issued by the Ministry.' (In practice no special licence has been issued as far as I know). I believe all the Nordic countries restrict sale of non-prescription drugs to pharmacies only. This for your information. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Regards Kirsten Myhr Otervn 72 9017 Tromsoe Norway Tel +47 77 67 65 96 Fax +47 77 64 48 31 E-mail myhr@telepost.no
