Regulatory status

Where S0 sits on the scale

Sold anywhere, no pharmacist needed.

This is the least restricted tier of medicine. You can buy it in an ordinary shop such as a supermarket or petrol station, and no pharmacist needs to be involved in the sale. It may also be advertised to the public, subject to the general advertising rules that apply to all medicines; the label must still carry the schedule mark like every other tier.

Schedule S0, read from the product's PI-PIL leaflet.

Who may supply: Anyone. It may be sold in an ordinary shop, not only in a pharmacy.

This is an informational summary of the Medicines and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965 and its 2017 General Regulations. It is not medical advice and not legal advice. Always check the medicine's label, which carries the schedule number inside a square border, or ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.
