The organisation of the pharmacy or the pharmacy for internal use must ensure the quality of all the procedures carried out there.
The pharmacist must ensure that the public does not have direct access to medicines and that these are dispensed with the discretion required by professional secrecy.
However, the pharmacist in charge or the pharmacist managing a dispensary may make the prescription medicines mentioned in article R. 5121-202 directly accessible to the public. These medicinal products must be presented in a dedicated area, clearly identified and located in the immediate vicinity of the dispensing stations for medicinal products and the pharmacy record mentioned in article L. 161-36-4-2 of the Social Security Code, in such a way as to allow effective control by the pharmacist. The latter makes available to the public information from the health authorities relating to the proper use of prescription medicines.
