Hungary: retailers not selling OTC drugs yet

Although the 289-item list of OTC drugs that can be sold outside pharmacies was made public several weeks ago, retailers are not queuing up for the licence.

According to Chief Pharmacy Officer, Csaba Antal, selling these products requires considerable investment. Consequently gas companies like Agip, Mol, Shell and OMV, retail chains like Tesco and DM and wholesale suppliers like Lekkerland, all of which have expressed an interest in stocking OTC drugs, are still waiting for further details and information.
