SAO PAULO - The new rules for the operation of pharmacies and can take the power of consumer choice in favor of the clerk, says the chief executive of Abrafarma (the Brazilian Network of Pharmacies and Drugstores), Sergio Mena Barreto.
"You take the power of consumer choice and deliver it to the clerk. If there is no competition law, the pharmacy will make your business decision," he said, according to the Agency Brazil.
For Baker, the decision to standardize the inspection of pharmacies and represents a step forward. However, some points of the new rules for him are questionable and need to be very well thought out, as they involve high costs, such as banning the drugs, even prescription-free, getting into the hands of customers.
Changes
Resolution 44/09, published by Anvisa, determines that the drugs, even those that do not require a prescription, should be on the counter for the pharmacist to provide the necessary guidance on the use of the product.
The measure also provides that only health-related items could be sold in pharmacies and drugstores, being forbidden to sell other goods such as ice cream, for example.
In addition, only the pharmacies open to the public, with the provision of a pharmacist during the entire period of operation, may sell products by phone, fax and Internet. However, it can be sold through remote drugs subject to special control.
