Laws affect profitability of pharmacies, reports the Advocate Mayra Palopoli
Mayra Palopoli, a lawyer, said that the pharmacies and drugstores all over Brazil come to meet new standards for sanitary control operation adopted by Anvisa (National Agency of Sanitary Vigilance). "The standards establish good practice for the pharmaceutical sanitary control of the operation, marketing of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical services. On the other hand, alter the profitability of this niche market, "he says.
"According to the rule, these establishments must have infrastructure compatible with the activities to be developed, possessing at least environments for administrative activities, receiving and storage products, storage of cleaning supplies and sanitary, and present good conditions for hygiene and safety, both for consumers and the employees, "said the lawyer.
Mayra also said that the obligations dictated by the new standard resulted in a court battle between Abrafarma (Brazilian Association of Network Pharmacies) and Anvisa which resulted in a preliminary order of sparing the associated Abrafarma to comply with the provisions of the Regulatory Instructions and 09/2009 10/2009 and the provisions of Resolution 44/2009 DRC. "In the first instance, the Federal Court ruled that such restrictions had no legal basis and reasonableness. However, this decision was suspended by the Superior Court of Justice, which brought even more discussion about the legality of such measures, "concludes Mayra Palopoli.
