# The Medicines (Pharmacy and General Sale— Exemption) Amendment Order 1994, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Medicines (Pharmacy and General Sale— Exemption) Order 1980 (“the principal Order”) which provides certain exemptions from the restrictions imposed by sections 52 and 53 of the Medicines Act 1968. Section 52 provides that medicinal products not on a general sale list shall be sold or supplied only on premises that are a registered pharmacy and by or under the supervision of a pharmacist.
Article 2 of this Order amends article 2 of the principal Order to grant a temporary exemption (subject to conditions) from the restrictions in section 52 to medicinal products in respect of which certificates of registration have been granted under the Medicines (Homoeopathic Medicinal Products for Human Use) Regulations 1994 but which are not prescription only medicines, controlled drugs or within a class specified in Schedule 3 to the Medicines (General Sale List) Order 1984. The amendment provides that the exemption is to last two years from the date of grant of the certificate.
