Apply for a license for the wholesale of medicinal products

Service Description

If you would like to operate a wholesale business with medicinal products, you will need a license from the competent authority before starting your activity.

The term "medicinal products" includes not only the corresponding preparations that are available in pharmacies or prescribed by a doctor, such as tablets, capsules, ointments, creams, (cough) juices, drops, vaccines and infusion solutions, but also products that are not recognized as medicinal products at first glance.

You can only be granted a wholesale license if you meet certain personal and material requirements. In addition, you must notify a responsible person and enclose the documents specified in the Medicinal Products Act with the application.

The permit is generally only valid for a single establishment. If there are several business premises located within the jurisdiction of different supervisory authorities, a separate application must be submitted for each business premises, which will be processed by the supervisory authority in whose local jurisdiction the respective business premises are located.

If you have applied for a corresponding permit, your company or facility will be inspected by the competent authority at regular intervals and on special occasions, for example if the permit needs to be amended or if there are concerns about drug safety.
