pharmateuse, dein englischer Link weist aber das "only" nicht nach?

Each medicine is assigned to one of three legal categories - prescription only (POM), pharmacy (P) or general sale list (GSL). These classifications determine how medicines can be supplied to the public.

POM and P medicines can only  be sold or supplied at registered pharmacy premises by or under the supervision of a pharmacist.
GSL medicines can be sold from a wider range of premises such as supermarkets provided those premises can be closed to exclude the public (i.e. they are lockable) and the medicines are pre-packed.

"The Medicines Act 1968 defines three legal categories of medicines. These are:
general sales list medicines,
pharmacy medicines, and
prescription only medicines.
Some prescription only medicines are further classified as controlled drugs.
[...]
General sale list medicines (GSL)
General sale list medicines may be sold from a wide range of shops such as newsagents, supermarkets and petrol stations.
[...]
Pharmacy medicines (P)  
Pharmacy medicines may only be sold from a pharmacy. A pharmacist must make or supervise the sale.
Before being sold a pharmacy medicine, you will usually be asked if you have any medical conditions and if you take any other medicines. This is to check that it is safe for you to take the pharmacy medicine.
[...]
Prescription only medicines (POM)
You cannot get prescription only medicines without a prescription, usually from your GP or dentist, but in some cases, a nurse, pharmacist or other healthcare professional."

officially "pharmacy medicine" as in the original quotation from the MHRA glossary, the link given in #2, and above here.
you will see "pharmacy only medicine" used - but that would also give the abbreviation POM!

Supported without the "only".

Für was steht das P in Klammer? Ist das die offizielle Abkürzung?

Hi Doris
It is the official abbreviation for the legal status of "pharmacy medicine".
The abbreviation used is just "P" (and not "PM" as you might expect)

"RECLASSIFICATION (Applications to change the legal status of medicines from
use under medical supervision as a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) to a
Pharmacy Medicine (P) available under the supervision of a pharmacist (POM to P);
or from P legal status to General Sale List (GSL) availability from a wider range of
retail outlets (P to GSL)).

"Gear up for more POM-to-P switches

Pharmacists will have a greater range of OTC medicines

Medicines will be available over the counter through pharmacies more quickly under a new reclassification process launched on 1 May 2002.
[...]
Over the past 10 years, 50 treatments have been switched from prescription only medicine (POM) to pharmacy medicine (P) status. "We want to increase this momentum," said Lord Hunt. "We want 50 to be reclassified over the next five years, maybe even more."

"There are three legal categories of medicines--prescription only medicine (POM), pharmacy medicine (P), and general sales list medicine (GSL); the last can be sold from outlets including supermarkets and drugstores."

Könnt Ihr bei der Gelegenheit auch die beiden folgenden Paare aufnehmen?

prescription only medicines (POM) [pharm.] (brit) -
verschreibungspflichtiges Arzneimittel

Beleg: § 1
Arzneimittel, (...)dürfen nur bei Vorliegen einer ärztlichen, zahnärztlichen oder tierärztlichen
Verschreibung abgegeben werden (verschreibungspflichtige Arzneimittel)(...)

Quelle: http://www.bundesrecht.juris.de/bundesrecht/a...

und

General sales list medicines (GSL)[pharm.] (brit) -
freiverkäufliches Arzneimitttel  

Beleg: Verordnung über apothekenpflichtige und
freiverkäufliche Arzneimittel
Quelle: http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bundesrecht...

Beleg: Freiverkäufliche Arzneimittel (§ 44 AMG) dürfen auch außerhalb der Apotheke abgegeben werden. Sie werden deshalb auch "apothekenfrei" genannt. Sie bedürfen keiner zusätzlichen Beratung durch einen Apotheker. Nach dem Arzneimittelgesetz (AMG) fallen darunter "Arzneimittel, die nur zu anderen Zwecken dienen als zur Beseitigung oder Linderung von Krankheiten". Die Apothekenpflicht wird aufgehoben, wenn keinerlei Gesundheitsgefährdung für den Verbraucher zu befürchten ist. Quelle: http://www.medizinfo.de/arzneimittel/recht/fr...

Die britische Seite ist so schön belegt, für die deutsche Seite reichen die Verweise hoffentlich aus.

POM already in LEO:
Siehe Wörterbuch: POM

Oh, ich hatte nach verschreibungspflichtig gesucht und es dabei nicht gefunden....

pharmateuse, spheniscus
I owe you both an apology about "pharmacy only medicines" - the term does have a definition, but these drugs are not the same as "pharmacy medicines"
In my attempt to clarify things, I have had some email correspondence with an information pharmacist at the National Pharmacy Association
He kindly pointed me in the direction of the links given below.
With various ammendments to the legislation (I am only a simple medic, not a pharmacist) there are also pharmacy only medicines (PO)

"POM: A substance which, by virtue of an entry in the Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997, as amended, may be sold or supplied to the public only on a practitioner's prescription

P: A substance which is a pharmacy medicine, ie, is not subject to the prescription-only requirements of the Prescription Only Medicines (Human Use) Order 1997, as amended, and which is not included in the Medicines (Products Other Than Veterinary Drugs) (General Sale List) Order 1984, as amended

GSL: A substance described in the Medicines (Products Other Than Veterinary Drugs) (General Sale List) Order 1984, as amended, made under the Medicines Act 1968

PO: A substance which contains GSL ingredients but is licensed for sale through pharmacies only."

the above links may be of use to you

Marianne, das zeigt doch nur, dass UK und DE unterschiedliche Gesundheitssysteme haben und dass Begriffe nicht direkt übersetzt werden können.

Aber etwas bin ich doch beruhigt, ich hatte nämlich vor einiger Zeit eine Unterhaltung mit unserem Exportmenschen über eines unsere Produkte, dass als "pharmacy only" klassifiziert ist... Nach Deinem Beitrag hier bin ich schon ins Grübeln gekommen.

Spheniscus, there are always difficulties fitting two different systems together.
As long as we agree that "pharmacy medicines" and "pharmacy only medicines" are two different things in the UK ...
If you still want entries for LEO, how about the above?

Auf der deutschen Seite könnte [pharm.] ergänzt werden, aber die
Gegenüberstellung der Begriffe ist mM nach korrekt.

Es gibt so viele Dinge, in denen sich das deutsche und das britische Arzneimittelrecht unterscheiden...

oops, make that last one

general sale list medicine (GSL) [Pharm.] [Brit.] - freiverkäufliches Arzneimitttel

officially there is no "s" on the end of sale although it appears more frequently than not ...

Dictionary of Health Economics

"Pharmacy-only medicine
"One for which no prescription is required, but a pharmacist must either deliver the medicine to the patient (or their agent) or be in the pharmacy when the medicine is given to the patient or their agent (e.g. the patient's spouse)."

IMHO the hyphen should be required.

oreg - you are introducing yet another legislation into the equation, namely that of New Zealand - there they have prescription medicine [UK equivalent: prescription only medicine POM], restricted medicine [UK equivalent: pharmacy medicine(P)], and pharmacy-only medicine [UK equivalent: pharmacy(-)only medicine(PO)],

And one of your links uses both the hyphenated and non-hyphenated forms within the same paragraph:

"New Zealand Medicines Act
[...]
Products in the next level down of classification are called Restricted Medicines. A restricted Medicine can only be sold or prescribed by pharmacists within a pharmacy and that a sale must be recorded in a register.

The next level of classification is described as the Pharmacy-Only Medicine category and all products in this class must be sold through a registered pharmacy or from a retail outlet, which is more than ten kilometres from a pharmacy, that has been licensed under the Medicines Act to sell specified pharmacy only medicines. Pharmacy only medicines, unlike restricted medicines, may be sold by any staff member working within a pharmacy.
http://www.canadainternationalrx.com/regulati...

I don't have any strong feelings about this but, to be consistent, you would also have to add a hyphen to all the "prescription only medicine" entres in LEO which currently do not have a hyphen ;-)
