E-DRUG: Non-prescription sale of antibiotics
------------------------------------

Dear E-DRUG Members,

I am interested in non-prescription use of antibiotics, specifically over
the counter sales and pharmacists' self-prescribing.

In many countries legislation prohibits the non-prescription sale of
antibiotics. I would like to find out more about the actual measures used
to enforce the legislation. I would appreciate hearing from E-DRUG members
about the measures in place in your country or any studies of measures to
enforce legislation or regulations prohibiting non-prescription sale of
antibiotics.

Kind regards,
