Pharmacy
We generally use the term ‘pharmacy’ to refer to dispensing pharmacies, i.e. pharmacies open to the public to have their prescriptions dispensed. Pharmacies play a crucial role when it comes to peopleand animals being able to access medicinal products.
A company wishing to open and run a pharmacy must apply for and be granted a licence from the Swedish Medical Products Agency (Swedish MPA).
The company running a pharmacy must ensure that their practice meets the requirements in the regulatory framework for pharmacies. The Swedish MPA has a responsibility to inspect pharmacies in Sweden.
