Article R5126-104 of the French Public Health Code

When the scale of the activity of the pharmacy for internal use so requires, and in any event in order to carry out these activities on each of the sites of the pharmacy for internal use, the Minister for Defence shall appoint one or more pharmacists covered by the provisions of article L. 4138-2 of the Defence Code, to assist the pharmacist responsible for managing the pharmacy.

These pharmacists may simultaneously carry out their duties and those of pharmacist in charge, delegate or deputy pharmacist of a pharmaceutical establishment under the same conditions as the pharmacist responsible for managing the pharmacy for internal use.

When these pharmacists are absent for more than one month, they are replaced. Their replacement, which may not exceed one year, is carried out by a pharmacist covered by the provisions of article L. 4138-2 of the Defence Code who is subject to the same service obligations as the pharmacist he is replacing.

Lorsque l’importance de l’activité de la pharmacie à usage intérieur l’exige et en tout état de cause pour exercer ces activités sur chacun des emplacements de la pharmacie à usage intérieur, le ministre de la défense désigne un ou plusieurs pharmaciens relevant des dispositions de l’article L. 4138-2 du code de la défense, pour assister le pharmacien chargé de la gérance.


Ces pharmaciens peuvent exercer simultanément leurs fonctions et celles de pharmacien responsable, délégué ou adjoint d’un établissement pharmaceutique dans les mêmes conditions que le pharmacien chargé de la gérance de la pharmacie à usage intérieur.


Lorsque ces pharmaciens s’absentent pour une durée supérieure à un mois, ils sont remplacés. Leur remplacement, qui ne peut excéder un an, est effectué par un pharmacien relevant des dispositions de l’article L. 4138-2 du code de la défense soumis aux mêmes obligations de service que celui qu’il remplace.
