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.
The Consolidated Schedules list this ingredient up to S2; the leaflet's S0 applies to this product.
Who may supply: Anyone. It may be sold in an ordinary shop, not only in a pharmacy.
