This Order amends the Medicines (Pharmacy and General Sale—Exemption) Order 1980 which specifies exemptions from the general requirements as to retail sale or supply set out in sections 52 and 53 of the Medicines Act 1968. The amendment extends the range of products which may be sold or supplied by state registered chiropodists to include ibuprofen, co-dydramol 10/500, amorolfine hydrochloride and topical hydrocortisone, where those chiropodists hold an appropriate certificate of competence in the use of medicines.
