# The Medicines (Products Other Than Veterinary Drugs) (General Sale List) Amendment Order 2002, 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 article 2 of the principal Order (which specifies classes of medicinal products on a general sale list) to provide that medicinal products which have been granted a marketing authorization will be available on general sale if so classified in their marketing authorization. Medicinal products for which no marketing authorization has been granted, or for which there is a product licence of right, will continue to be classified as general sale if they fall within the class specified in Schedule 1 or 2 and are not specified in Schedule 3.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment in relation to this Order has 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 10–202, Market Towers, 1 Nine Elms Lane, London SW8 5NQ.
