“On Tuesday, this electronic system started working. We already have the first registration: a pharmacy from Cherkassy has already registered in the system. I hope more pharmacies will join,” she said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Karchevich specified that the sale of medkanabis drugs is carried out exclusively on the basis of an electronic prescription, so technical solutions have been developed to be able to prescribe and omit them.
In addition, the deputy minister recalled that the regulatory framework provides for the sale of both ready-made mednacabis preparations and preparations made in pharmacies from ready-made plant substances.
“In order to make it possible to manufacture these drugs in pharmacies, the requirements for the import of plant substances of cannabis have been determined,” she added.
