The effect of the new Rules for prescribing prescriptions and order-requirements for medicinal products and medical devices has been restored. Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 30.06.94 No. 117 "On the procedure for prescribing prescriptions and dispensing medicinal products and medical devices from pharmacies" was temporarily in effect until June 1, 2006. Now, without a prescription, pharmacies – legal entities can finally again dispense such a medicinal product as potassium permanganate (the well-known manganese solution), but only in a form packaged in consumer packaging of 3 – 5 grams per one dispensing. Moreover, dispensing manganese in larger quantities, as well as dispensing from pharmacy kiosks, is prohibited. In addition, dispensing of manganese is possible only by legal entities with a license for the type of activity related to the circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors. A logbook for recording poisonous and potent medicinal products subject to subject-quantitative accounting in healthcare institutions has been introduced.
What establishes this. Order of the Ministry of Health dated 19.07.2005 No. 360 "On approval of the Rules for prescribing prescriptions and order-requirements for medicinal products and medical devices, the Procedure for dispensing medicinal products and medical devices from pharmacies and their structural subdivisions, and the Instruction on the procedure for storage, accounting and destruction of prescription forms and order-requirements"
