New Rules for Dispensing Medicines with an e-Prescription: What Has Changed
Published
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has updated the rules for dispensing medicines under an electronic prescription. These changes concern who can issue medications to patients and how citizens can obtain them. For many people this is important information, since the e-Prescription is already used in pharmacies across the country.
Under the new rules, a patient can receive medicines at a pharmacy using an electronic prescription. To do this, they need to provide their phone number or identifier so that the pharmacist can find the prescription in the system. It is important that the prescription is valid, and some medications are still dispensed only under certain conditions.
The Ministry also explained what to do if a medicine is not available at the pharmacy. In this case, the patient can go to another pharmacy or check the availability of the medication through online services. Specialists advise clarifying information in advance to avoid wasting time.
More detailed explanations of the changes and the procedure for obtaining medicines are available on the official resources of the Ministry of Health. Patients are advised to follow updates in order to obtain medicines without unnecessary difficulties.
