* Pharmacies, pharmacy points, pharmacy kiosks, pharmacy stores.

Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated July 11, 2017 No. 403n “On approval of the Rules for the dispensing of medicinal products for medical use, including immunobiological medicinal products, by pharmacy organizations and individual entrepreneurs with a license for pharmaceutical activities” (hereinafter referred to as the Order) came into force in September. Everyone had been waiting for this order for a long time; its drafts had been in existence for about three years. This order canceled the effect of order No. 785. I note that the order applies not only to pharmacy employees, but also to doctors.

The order approved the rules for dispensing drugs without a prescription, with a prescription, according to the requirements of medical organizations and invoices. individual entrepreneurs who have a license to practice medicine.

Already following the order, clarifications from the Russian Ministry of Health dated September 27, 2017 were issued, which regulated certain provisions of Order No. 403n. But questions still remain.

The order determined which pharmacies can dispense prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Let me remind you that all pharmacy organizations (pharmacies and kiosks) and individual entrepreneurs with a license to carry out pharmaceutical activities can dispense without a prescription. Prescription drugs still cannot be sold by pharmacy kiosks and individual entrepreneurs with a pharmaceutical license. As for the dispensing of narcotic and psychotropic drugs, they can be dispensed by pharmacies and pharmacy points that have a license to operate in the circulation of such drugs.

The order presented an unpleasant surprise regarding the vacation immunobiological preparations. According to the new order, pharmacies and pharmacy points can dispense them, while individual entrepreneurs are denied the right to dispense immunobiological drugs. In the clarification of the Russian Ministry of Health on this issue, reference is made to the federal law No. 157-FZ (which says that vacation individuals immunobiological preparations can only be supplied by pharmacies). Formally, nothing can be done about the fact that individual entrepreneurs are not included in the list of those who are allowed to dispense immunobiological drugs, because from a legal point of view, individual entrepreneurs are not organizations. Organizations are legal entities. Although this is justified formally, I don’t think it is morally justified. Let me remind you that the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation” (Article 12) states that individual entrepreneurs are equated to pharmaceutical organizations in order to comply with the law. That is, their responsibilities are the same as those of legal entities, and much less rights. I believe that if the issue of dispensing immunobiological drugs is relevant for individual entrepreneurs, it makes sense to defend their rights to dispense them by making official requests to the Ministry of Health. My advice is to emphasize in your letters and appeals that by dispensing immunobiological drugs, you are improving the availability of these drugs to the population. The definition of an immunobiological drug is given in Federal Law No. 61-FZ (Article 4).

RULES AND PROCEDURE FOR WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS

Let me remind you that we have rules and procedures for writing prescriptions for medicines. The order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated 01.08.12 No. 54n “On approval of the form of prescription forms containing the prescription of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, the procedure for their production, distribution, registration, accounting and storage, as well as registration rules” is still in effect. The recipe is prepared in accordance with the rules of the adj. No. 2 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules). The order of registration remains the same.

Appendix No. 2 to the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 54n.

The prescription form must be filled out legibly, clearly, using ink or a ballpoint pen or using a printing device. Corrections when filling out the prescription form are not allowed. One name of narcotic (psychotropic) drug is written on one prescription form. The quantity of narcotic (psychotropic) drugs prescribed on the prescription form is indicated in words. The method of taking a narcotic (psychotropic) drug is indicated in Russian or in Russian and state languages republics that are part of the Russian Federation.

The prescription form is stamped medical organization(indicating the full name of the medical organization, its address and telephone number) and the date of issuing a prescription for a narcotic (psychotropic) drug.

The recipe is certified:

  • for the initial appointment - with the signature and personal seal of the doctor/signature of the paramedic (midwife);
  • signature of the manager (deputy or manager structural unit or a person authorized by the head) of the medical organization that issued a prescription for a narcotic (psychotropic) drug (indicating his last name, first name, patronymic);
  • seal of the medical organization (structural unit) “For prescriptions”;
  • when re-prescribing, you must indicate “Repeated” in the upper left corner of the prescription; certify with the signature and personal seal of a doctor/signature of a paramedic (midwife); seal of the medical organization (structural unit) “For prescriptions”.

Let me remind you that more than a year ago, the certification of prescriptions with the legal seal of a medical organization for drugs from List II was canceled.

Narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Schedule II, with the exception of drugs in the form of transdermal therapeutic systems(TDTS), are issued upon presentation of an identification document: to the person indicated in the prescription, his legal representative, or a person who has a power of attorney issued in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation for the right to receive such narcotic and psychotropic drugs. The power of attorney is issued in simple written form (Article 185 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) and can be notarized at the request of the patient or if it is impossible for him to write a power of attorney (Articles 163 and 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation); the validity period is indicated in the power of attorney; if not specified, then 1 year from the date of its signing (clarification of the Russian Ministry of Health). When dispensing narcotic and psychotropic drugs of List II and psychotropic drugs of List III, a signature is issued with a yellow stripe at the top and the inscription in black font: “Signature”.

Nowhere in regulatory documents It does not say that the pharmacy must copy, take into account or take away these powers of attorney. There is no need to do this.

The order canceled the effect of order No. 785 - now there is no assignment to a specific pharmacy for the dispensing of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors from List II. A pharmacy organization must now service prescriptions for such drugs prescribed by any medical organization anywhere in the Russian Federation. The main thing is that the recipe is prepared according to the current rules.

The norm for vacation without prescription drugs that contain narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors. Previously, the norm was no more than 2 packages; Now the same Corvalol and others like it can be dispensed in the quantities required by the person who contacts the pharmacy.

As for issuing prescriptions on form No. 148-1/u-88, the Rules for issuing prescriptions are in effect, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated December 20, 2012 No. 1175n “On approval of the procedure for prescribing and prescribing medications, as well as forms of prescription forms for medications, the procedure for completing the specified forms, recording and storing them.” In accordance with it, on the prescription form No. 148-1/u-88, narcotic and psychotropic drugs of List II in the form of TDTS, psychotropic drugs of List III, other drugs subject to PCU, drugs with anabolic activity related to ATC are prescribed anabolic steroids(code A14A) - (order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated 07.11.17 No. 403n), drugs specified in paragraph 5 of the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated 05.17.12 No. 562n, individually manufactured drugs containing NS or PV of List II and other pharmacological active substances.

Order of the Ministry of Health No. 183n dated April 22, 2014:

  • potent and toxic drugs in the PKU list (extract): Sodium thiopental, Tramadol (Tramal), Trihexyphenidyl (Cyclodol), Gestrinone (nemestran), 1-Testosterone (Sustanon-250, Omnadren-250, Nebido), Sibutramine (Goldline, Slimia, Syndax), ethyl alcohol (Ethanol), etc.;
  • combined drugs containing, in addition to small quantities of NS, PIs and their precursors, other pharmacologically active substances (clause 5 of the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 17, 2012 No. 562n);
  • other drugs subject to subject-quantitative accounting: Pregabalin (Algerica, Lyrica, Prabegin, Pregabalin canon), caps.; Tropicamide (Mydriacyl, Tropicamide), eye drops; Cyclopentolate (Cyclomed, Cycloptic), eye drops.

CHANGES CONCERNING THE RULES FOR DRUG DISpensing

  • First, a mark is made on the prescription about the dispensing of the drug: a stamp (or mark) is placed on all prescriptions: "The drug has been released"(clauses 14, 15 of the Order), indicate the name of the pharmacy organization / full name. individual entrepreneur, trade name, dosage and quantity of the drug dispensed.

FULL NAME. a medical worker is indicated in cases of dispensing drugs of a higher dosage (paragraph 4 of clause 7 of the Rules), one-time dispensing of drugs on a prescription, the validity of which is 1 year, indicating the frequency of dispensing (paragraph 3 of clause 10 of the Rules).

  • The details of the identity document of the person who received narcotic or psychotropic drugs of List II (except for TDTS) are indicated (clause 20 of the Rules), full name. the pharmaceutical worker who dispensed the drug and his signature, the date of issue of the drug, a round seal of the joint-stock company is affixed, the imprint of which must identify the full name of the joint-stock company when dispensing narcotic or psychotropic drugs of list II (clause 12 of the Order and appendix 2 to the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia No. 54n ).
  • When dispensing a medicinal product, the pharmacist informs the person purchasing (receiving) the drug about the regimen and doses of its administration, storage rules at home, and interactions with other drugs. When dispensing, a pharmacist does not have the right to provide false and (or) incomplete information about the availability of medicinal products, including medicinal products that have the same INN, incl. hide information about the availability of drugs that have more low price.
  • The sale of falsified, substandard and counterfeit drugs is prohibited. - It is prohibited for a retail trade entity to dispense medicinal products specified in clause 4 of these Rules (prescription dispensing) according to prescriptions from veterinary organizations.

As for the shelf life of prescriptions in the pharmacy, this is where the most surprises await us in paragraph 14 of the Order.

  • If a prescription is issued for narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances of Schedule II, except for TDTS, in the form of prescription form No. 107-1/u-NP, then the validity of the prescription is 15 days, the shelf life is 5 years. For medicines containing List III pharmaceuticals and Schedule II pharmaceuticals in the form of TDTS, the shelf life is also 15 days and 5 years, respectively. The validity period of medicines subject to PCU is 15 days, and the shelf life is 3 years.
  • Medicines containing potent and toxic substances, combined drugs... (clause 5 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 17, 2012 No. 562n), other drugs subject to PCU: Pregabalin, Tropicamide, Cyclopentolate, drugs with anabolic activity (ATC code A14A) , written out on prescription form No. 148-1/u-88 - prescription validity - 15 days, shelf life - 3 years.
  • Medicines dispensed free of charge or at a discount, prescribed on form No. 148-1/u-04 (l), No. 148-1/u-06 (l), - the validity of prescriptions is 30/90 days, and the shelf life in a pharmacy - 3 years.
  • Medicines not subject to PCU: containing more than 15% ethyl alcohol by volume, antipsychotics (ATC code No. 05A), anxiolytics (ATC code No. 05B), hypnotics and sedatives (ATC code No. 05C), antidepressants (ATC code No. No. 06A according to ATC), written out on the prescription form No. 107-1/u, - prescription validity is 60 days/1 year, shelf life in the pharmacy is 3 months after the last batch of drugs is dispensed to the patient ( clarifications from the Russian Ministry of Health).
  • Other prescription medications for a patient with a chronic disease have a shelf life of 60 days to 1 year and the prescriptions are returned to the patient.

The simplest way to prove that a prescription has been serviced and will be returned to the patient is to make a copy of it with a pharmacy stamp. If it is not possible to copy, it makes sense to enter information about this in the journal. Or do nothing until there are clear instructions from the Ministry of Health on this issue.

STORING RECIPES IN THE PHARMACY

After the adoption of the Order, many questions arose regarding the order in which recipes were stored.

The order of storage and subsequent destruction of prescriptions in pharmacies is not approved by the Order. A pharmacy organization (PI) must (can) develop and approve an internal document regulating the procedure for storing prescriptions left in the pharmacy and the procedure for their subsequent destruction.

  • Clause 2.16 approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 14, 2005 No. 785 of the Procedure for Dispensing Medicines with adj. No. 2 and 3 (forms of acts on the destruction of prescriptions for obtaining NS and PV; medicines subject to PCU, and within the framework of DLO upon expiration of their storage periods).
  • On the norms for prescribing narcotic and psychotropic drugs and other drugs that are subject to subject-quantitative accounting.

Adj. 1 to the order of the Russian Ministry of Health No. 1175. When prescribing narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Lists II and III, other drugs subject to PCU, the dose of which exceeds the highest single dose, medical worker writes the dose of this drug in words and puts an exclamation point.

The drug is dispensed in the quantity specified in the prescription, except in cases where the maximum permissible or recommended quantity for prescription per prescription is established for the drug (Appendices No. 1 and 2 to the procedure for prescribing and prescribing medications, approved by Order No. 1175n).

When presenting a prescription that exceeds the maximum permissible or recommended amount of a medicinal product, the pharmacist:

  • informs the person who submitted the prescription about this;
  • dispenses the drug in the established maximum permissible or recommended quantity;
  • makes a note in the prescription about the amount of the drug dispensed;
  • informs the head of the relevant medical organization about violations of the procedure for writing prescriptions.

FEATURES OF DELIVERY OF IMMUNOBIOLOGICAL DRUGS

When dispensing an immunobiological medicinal product (IMP) on a prescription or a prescription counterfoil, which remains with the person purchasing (receiving) the medicine, indicated exact time(in hours and minutes) dispensing of the drug.

The release of an immunobiological medicinal product is carried out to the person purchasing (receiving) the drug, if he has a special thermal container in which the drug is placed, with an explanation of the need to deliver this drug to a medical organization, subject to storage in a special thermal container for a period not exceeding 48 hours after its acquisitions.

According to the resolution of Rospotrebnadzor and the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of Russia dated 02.17.16 No. 19, the release of ILP for retail sale is permitted subject to delivery to the place of direct use in a thermal container, thermos, or other devices (clarifications of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated 09.27.17) in compliance with the requirements " cold chain."

An employee of a pharmacy institution engaged in retail sale of pharmaceutical products instructs the buyer on the need to comply with the “cold chain” when transporting pharmaceutical products (no more than 48 hours).

Each dose of IMP sold to the population is supplied with instructions for use of the drug in Russian, which indicate the conditions for its storage and transportation. A note about the instructions given is made on the prescription form, drug packaging or other document.

Paragraph 8 of the Order allows for violation of the secondary (consumer) packaging of a medicine if the quantity of medicine indicated in the prescription or required by the person purchasing the drug (for over-the-counter distribution) is less than the quantity of medicine contained in the secondary (consumer) packaging.

Medicines are dispensed: carried out in primary packaging, instructions (a copy of the instructions) for the use of the drug being dispensed are provided. Tampering with the primary packaging of the medicine during its dispensing is prohibited.

Differences from the requirements of Order No. 785 of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia:

  • no need for “pharmacy packaging indicating the name, factory series, etc.”;
  • There is no need to keep a laboratory packaging log in such cases.

Recipe service times:

  • statim(immediately) - within 1 business day from the date the person contacts the retail trade entity;
  • cito(urgent) - within 2 working days from the date the person contacts the retail trade entity;
  • included in the minimum assortment - within 5 working days from the date of the person’s application to the retail trade entity;
  • sold within the framework of DLO and not included in the minimum assortment - within 10 working days from the date of the person’s application to the retail trade entity;
  • as prescribed by the medical commission - within 15 working days from the date of the person’s application to the retail trade entity.

Important! It is prohibited to dispense drugs with expired prescriptions, except in cases where the prescription expired while it was under deferred maintenance.

Paragraph 6 of the Order establishes the rule that if a prescription has expired while it is on deferred servicing, then the pharmacy must dispense the drug according to such a prescription without reissuing it.

Explanations from the Ministry of Health of Russia dated September 27, 2017 explain that the norm provided for in paragraph 6 (9) of the Procedure applies to all groups of drugs, incl. subject to PCU, with the exception of narcotic and psychotropic drugs included in List II. For the above-mentioned narcotic and psychotropic drugs, the norm provided for in Part 6 of Art. 25 of the Federal Law of 01/08/98 No. 3-FZ “On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances”, regarding the prohibition of their dispensing on prescriptions issued more than 15 days ago.

Samvel Grigoryan talks about the new document regulating the procedure for dispensing medicines and coming into force on September 22

IP and IBLP

In general, in order No. 403n the topic of IBP release is spelled out separately, which is not in order 785. It will be regulated by paragraph 13 of the first mentioned act. This paragraph, in particular, determines that when an IBP is dispensed, the exact time of this same dispensing, in hours and minutes, is indicated on the prescription or prescription counterfoil, which remains with the buyer.

Violation of secondary

With the entry into force of Order No. 403n, new emphasis will appear on the topic of the possibility of violation of secondary (consumer) packaging of medicines. The “retiring” norm of Order No. 785 allows this to be done in exceptional cases, if the pharmacy organization is unable to fulfill the doctor’s prescription.

Order No. 403n, which replaced it, is in this regard more specific and more consistent modern requirements, medical practice and consumer requests. Paragraph 8 of the order determines that violation of the secondary packaging and dispensing of the medicinal product in the primary packaging is allowed in cases where the amount of the drug indicated in the prescription or required by the consumer (for over-the-counter dispensing) is less than the amount of the drug contained in the secondary packaging.

In this case, the buyer must be provided with instructions for use or a copy thereof, and tampering with the original packaging is prohibited. By the way, the new order does not contain the rule that in case of violation of the secondary order, the drug must be dispensed in pharmaceutical packaging with the obligatory indication of the name, factory batch, expiration date of the drug, series and date according to the laboratory packaging register, which is determined by order No. 785.

"The medicine has been released"

Clause 4 of Order No. 403n of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation regulates the topic of prescription forms and the list of drugs dispensed on them. In particular, narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Schedule II are dispensed using Form No. 107/u-NP, with the exception of narcotic and psychotropic drugs in the form of transdermal therapeutic systems.

The remaining prescription drugs, as is known, are dispensed using forms No. 107-1/u. According to paragraph 22 of the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated December 20, 2012 No. 1175n “On approval of the procedure for prescribing and prescribing medications, as well as forms of prescription forms...”, prescriptions written on the forms of this form are valid for two months from the date of prescription. However, for patients with chronic diseases it is allowed to set the validity period of the prescription form No. 107-1/у within up to one year and exceed the recommended amount of the drug for prescribing per prescription, installed by application No. 2 of this order.

Such a prescription, which also indicates the periods and quantity of the drug dispensed (in each period), is returned to the buyer, of course, with the required notes on the date of dispensing, dosage and quantity of the drug dispensed. This is prescribed by paragraph 10 of order No. 403n. He also determines that the next time the patient comes to the pharmacy with the same prescription, the chief must take into account the notes on the previous dispensing of the drug.

The prescription remains at the pharmacy

There are some changes on the topic indicated in the title of this chapter. Paragraph 14 of the new order establishes that the retail trade entity retains (with the mark “The medicinal product is dispensed”) and stores:

within 5 years prescriptions for:

within 3 years prescriptions for:

within 3 months recipes for:

Order No. 403n of the Russian Ministry of Health did not come without a cherry on the cake, albeit a dubious one. Paragraph 15 of the order states that prescriptions not specified in the previous 14th paragraph (we listed them just above) are marked with the stamp “The drug has been dispensed” and are returned to the indicator. It seems to follow from this that prescriptions of form No. 107-1/y with a two-month validity period become “disposable”. We advise readers to pay special attention to this new norm.

The topic of combating the abuse of alcohol-containing drugs in pharmacies, which was recently trumpeted by the media, is also reflected in the new order on the rules of dispensing. According to the current procedure, prescriptions for such drugs are returned to the patient (with a “dispensed” stamp); under the new order, they must remain in the pharmacy organization.

To avoid getting caught

The procedure for working with incorrectly written prescriptions is now described in a little more detail (clause 15 of order No. 403n). In particular, when they are registered by a pharmacist in a journal, it is necessary to indicate the identified violations in the execution of the prescription, the full name of the health worker who wrote it, the name of the medical organization in which he works, and the measures taken.

Paragraph 17 of Order No. 403n contains the rule that a pharmacist does not have the right to provide unreliable or incomplete information about the availability of drugs in the pharmacy’s assortment - including drugs that have the same INN - and also to hide information about the availability of drugs that have a lower price. Similar provisions are contained in subparagraph 2.4 of Article 74 of the Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation” and paragraph 54 of the Rules of Good Pharmacy Practice (Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated August 21, 2016 No. 647n). The only thing new here is that this rule appears for the first time in the order on vacation rules.

This was a review of the order, so to speak, “on fresh trail.” Readers will probably find in it other points and norms that deserve special attention. Write to the editors of Katren-Style magazine about them, and we will address your questions to leading industry experts. We will also ask them about the problem of “disposable” prescriptions with a two-month validity period, which was mentioned above, as well as the dispensing of ethyl alcohol and alcohol-containing drugs in the light of the provisions of the new order No. 403n.


Materials about the order of the Ministry of Health No. 403n:

What could be more important for a pharmacy organization than the order in which medications are dispensed. Pharmacists barely had time to return from their summer vacation and look around when a new order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated July 11, 2017 No. 403n was published with appendices “On approval of the rules for the dispensing of drugs for medical use, including immunobiological drugs, by pharmacy organizations, individual entrepreneurs with license for pharmaceutical activities." Order No. 403n on the vacation procedure was registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on September 8; it begins on September 22 of the current year.

The first thing I want to say in this regard is that now forget the number “785”. New order 403n with amendments and additions recognizes that the well-known order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of December 14, 2005 No. 785 “On the procedure for dispensing medicines”, as well as the orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 302, No. 109 and No. 521 that amended it, have become invalid. At the same time, many points of the new normative -legal act repeat - sometimes almost verbatim - the corresponding fragments of the predecessor order. But there are also differences, new provisions, on which we will focus more, setting out the first observations and notes in the margins of the freshly issued order of the Ministry of Health No. 403n.

IP and IBLP

Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 403n consists of three appendices. The first approves new rules for the dispensing of medicinal products, including immunobiological medicinal products (IBP); the second is the requirements for the dispensing of narcotic and psychotropic drugs, drugs with anabolic activity, and other drugs subject to subject-quantitative accounting (SQR). The third appendix establishes the rules for the dispensing of medicines according to the invoice requirements of medical organizations, as well as individual entrepreneurs (IP) with a license for medical activities.

Under the new order, the dispensing of over-the-counter drugs will be allowed both to pharmacies and pharmacy points, as well as individual entrepreneurs and pharmacy kiosks. For the rest, if we summarize points 2 and 3 of order No. 403n and the list of drugs, the following picture emerges.

  • The dispensing of narcotic and psychotropic drugs can only be carried out by pharmacies and pharmacy points that have the appropriate license.
  • The remaining prescription drugs are dispensed by pharmacies, pharmacy points and individual entrepreneurs (of course, those with a license for pharmaceutical activities - this clarification will be further considered accepted by default and omitted).
  • The dispensing of immunobiological prescription drugs is carried out by pharmacies and pharmacy points. Individual entrepreneurs are not mentioned in this provision of paragraph 3, which means that they cannot dispense drugs of this group, which we advise you to pay special attention to.

In general, in order No. 403n the procedure for dispensing IBP drugs is prescribed separately, which is not in order 785. It will be regulated by paragraph 13 of the first mentioned act. This paragraph, in particular, determines that when an IBP is dispensed, the exact time of this same dispensing, in hours and minutes, is indicated on the prescription or prescription counterfoil, which remains with the buyer.

IBLP can be released if two conditions are met. Firstly, if the buyer has a special thermal container in which the required mode of transportation and storage of these thermolabile drugs can be observed. The second condition is an explanation (from the pharmacist to the buyer) of the need to deliver this drug to a medical organization, despite the fact that it can be stored in the mentioned container for no more than 48 hours.

Let us recall in this regard that this topic is also regulated by subclause 8.11.5 of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Rules “Conditions for transportation and storage of immunobiological preparations” (SP 3.3.2.3332–16), which are approved by Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation dated February 17, 2016 No. 19. It obliges the pharmacy employee to instruct the buyer about the need to comply with the “cold chain” when transporting IBPs.

The fact of this instruction is recorded with a mark on the drug packaging, prescription or other accompanying document. The mark is certified by the signature of the buyer and the chief clerk (or another representative of the pharmacy organization) and also includes the date and time of dispensing. However, SanPiN does not specify that the time in in this case must be entered in hours and minutes.

Violation of secondary

With the amendments and additions to Order No. 403n, new emphasis will appear on the topic of the possibility of violation of secondary (consumer) packaging of medicines. The “retiring” norm of Order No. 785 allows this to be done in exceptional cases, if the pharmacy organization is unable to fulfill the doctor’s prescription.

The order No. 403n that replaced it with a list of drugs in this regard is more specific and more in line with modern requirements, medical practice and consumer demands. Paragraph 8 of the order determines that violation of the secondary packaging and dispensing of the medicinal product in the primary packaging is allowed in cases where the amount of the drug indicated in the prescription or required by the consumer (for over-the-counter dispensing) is less than the amount of the drug contained in the secondary packaging.

In this case, the buyer must be provided with instructions for use or a copy thereof, and tampering with the original packaging is prohibited. By the way, in the new order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 403n there is no provision that in case of violation of the secondary drug must be dispensed in pharmaceutical packaging with the obligatory indication of the name, factory series, expiration date of the drug, series and date according to the laboratory packaging register, which is determined by order No. 785.

What does this mean in practice? Let's assume two situations: first - drug X tablets (or dragees) No. 56, primary packaging - blister; the second is drug N tablets No. 56, in a bottle. And in both cases, the question arises about its release to the patient who has presented the chief of staff with a prescription on which, say, 28 tablets or 42 tablets (dragées) are prescribed.

It is clear that in the first case this is acceptable, since it is possible to dispense 28 or 42 tablets without breaking the primary packaging (blister), and in the second case it is unacceptable, since the primary packaging in this situation is a bottle, and breaking it is strictly prohibited. So count out tablets or dragees from the bottle, as they do in some pharmacies foreign countries, our leaders have no rights.

"The medicine has been released"

Clause 4 of Order No. 403n of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation regulates the topic of prescription forms and the list of drugs dispensed on them. In particular, narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Schedule II are dispensed using Form No. 107/u-NP, with the exception of narcotic and psychotropic drugs in the form of transdermal therapeutic systems.

According to form No. 148–1/у-88 the following are issued:

  • Schedule III psychotropic drugs;
  • narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Schedule II in the form of transdermal therapeutic systems;
  • drugs included in the list of drugs subject to PCU, with the exception of those drugs that are dispensed in form No. 107/u-NP;
  • drugs that have anabolic activity and are classified as anabolic steroids according to the anatomical-therapeutic-chemical classification (ATC) recommended by the World Health Organization (code A14A);
  • drugs specified in paragraph 5 of the “Procedure for the dispensing to individuals of drugs containing, in addition to small quantities of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors, other pharmacological active substances” (order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated May 17, 2012 No. 562n);
  • preparations manufactured according to a prescription for a medicinal product and containing a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance included in Schedule II and other pharmacological active substances in a dose not exceeding the highest single dose, and provided that the combination drug is not a Schedule II narcotic or psychotropic drug.

The list of other prescription drugs, as is known, is dispensed on form No. 107-1/u. According to paragraph 22 of the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated December 20, 2012 No. 1175n “On approval of the procedure for prescribing and prescribing medications, as well as forms of prescription forms...”, prescriptions written on the forms of this form are valid for two months from the date of prescription. However, for patients with chronic diseases, it is allowed to set the validity period of the prescription form No. 107-1/u within up to one year and exceed the recommended amount of the drug for prescribing per prescription, established by Appendix No. 2 of this order.

Such a prescription, which also indicates the periods and quantity of the drug dispensed (in each period), is returned to the buyer, of course, with the required notes on the date of dispensing, dosage and quantity of the drug dispensed. This is prescribed by paragraph 10 of order No. 403n. It also determines that the next time the patient comes to the pharmacy with the same prescription for a list of drugs, the chief must take into account the notes on the previous dispensing of the drug.

When the maximum quantity specified in the prescription is purchased, it must be stamped “Dispensed.” And a one-time release of the entire quantity, according to the same paragraph, is allowed only in agreement with the doctor who wrote this prescription.

The prescription remains at the pharmacy

There are some changes on the topic indicated in the title of this chapter. Paragraph 14 of the new order No. 403n of the Ministry of Health establishes that the retail trade entity retains (with the mark “The medicinal product is dispensed”) and stores:

within 5 years prescriptions for:

  • narcotic and psychotropic drugs of Schedule II, psychotropic drugs of List III (according to the outgoing 785th order, they are stored for 10 years);

within 3 years prescriptions for:

  • drugs dispensed free of charge or at a discount (according to forms No. 148–1/u-04 (l) or No. 148–1/u-06 (l));
  • combination drugs containing narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances included in Schedules II and III, manufactured in a pharmacy, drugs with anabolic activity, drugs subject to PCU;

within 3 months recipes for:

  • drugs in liquid dosage form containing more than 15% ethyl alcohol by volume of the finished product, other drugs classified by ATC as antipsychotics (code N05A), anxiolytics (code N05B), hypnotics and sedatives (code N05C), antidepressants (code N06A ) and not subject to PCU.

Note that Order 785 does not contain this group of recipes for three-month storage.

Order No. 403n of the Ministry of Health did not come without a cherry on the cake, albeit a dubious one. Paragraph 15 of the order states that prescriptions not listed in the previous 14th paragraph (we listed them just above) are marked with the stamp “The drug has been dispensed” and are returned to the indicator. It seems to follow from this that prescriptions of form No. 107-1/y with a two-month validity period become “disposable”. We advise readers to pay special attention to this new norm.

The topic of combating the abuse of alcohol-containing drugs in pharmacies, which was recently trumpeted by the media, is also reflected in the new order on the procedure for dispensing drugs. According to the current procedure, prescriptions for such drugs are returned to the patient (with a “dispensed” stamp); under the new order, they must remain in the pharmacy organization.

To avoid getting caught

The procedure for dispensing incorrectly written prescriptions is now described in a little more detail (clause 15 of order No. 403n). In particular, when they are registered by a pharmacist in a journal, it is necessary to indicate the identified violations in the execution of the prescription, the full name of the health worker who wrote it, the name of the medical organization in which he works, and the measures taken.

According to this paragraph, when medicinal holiday the pharmacist informs the buyer not only about the regimen and doses, but also about the rules for storing at home and interactions with other medications.

In theory this means the following. The pharmaceutical inspector can approach the first table in the guise of an ordinary buyer - so to speak, make a test purchase. And if the chief captain, dispensing the medicine, does not inform him, for example, that this medicine must be stored at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C, or will not ask if he is taking in given time other medications, then the inspector can “throw off the mask” and draw up an administrative violation report. So the norm in paragraph 16 is serious and fraught. And, of course, it requires that the chief captain be thoroughly versed in the complex and voluminous topic of drug interactions.

Paragraph 17 of Order No. 403n, as amended, contains the rule that a pharmacist does not have the right to provide false or incomplete information about the availability of drugs in the pharmacy product range - including drugs that have the same INN - and also to hide information about the availability of drugs that have a lower price . Similar provisions are contained in subparagraph 2.4 of Article 74 of the Law dated November 21, 2011 No. 323 Federal Law “On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federation” and paragraph 54 of the Rules of Good Pharmacy Practice (Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated August 21, 2016 No. 647n). The only thing new here is that this rule appears for the first time in the order on the vacation procedure.

These were explanations of order No. 403n, so to speak, “on a fresh trail.” Readers will probably find in it other points and norms that deserve special attention. Write to the editors of Katren-Style magazine about them, and we will address your questions to leading industry experts. We will also ask them about the problem of “disposable” prescriptions with a two-month validity period, which was mentioned above, as well as the dispensing of ethyl alcohol and alcohol-containing drugs in light of the provisions of the new Order No. 403 of the Ministry of Health.
