# The Medicines (Products Other Than Veterinary Drugs) (General Sale List) Amendment Order 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order further amends the Medicines (Products Other Than Veterinary Drugs) (General Sale List) Order 1984 (“the principal Order”) which specifies classes of medicinal products which can with reasonable safety be sold or supplied otherwise than by or under the supervision of a pharmacist (the general sale list).
Article 2 amends Schedule 1 to the principal Order (medicinal products, other than products the subject of a product licence of right, on general sale) by deleting the entry in Table A (internal or external use) for Methionine, DL. It also inserts in Table A of Schedule 1 to the principal Order the entry specified in the Schedule to this Order for Nicotine chewing gum. Methionine is deleted from Table A (internal or external use) of Schedule 2 to the principal Order (medicinal products, the subject of a product licence of right, on general sale), by article 3.
An assessment of the cost to business of complying with this Order has been made, copies of which have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament. Further copies may be obtained from the Department of Health, Medicines Control Agency, Information Centre, Room 1207, Market Towers, 1 Nine Elms Lane, London SW8 5NQ.
