Article L5123-8 of the French Public Health Code

In order to avoid wasting medicines, when their pharmaceutical form allows it, certain medicines may be dispensed individually in pharmacies.

An order of the ministers responsible for health and social security sets the list of medicines covered by this article. A Conseil d’Etat decree sets out the specific packaging, labelling, information and traceability requirements for these medicinal products.
