Recommendation

Basel, Switzerland
Specifics in the Distribution of Medicinal Products
The 2022 edition of the Rules and Guidance for Pharmaceutical Distributors (the "Green Guide"), compiled by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), was published. This title supersedes the 2017 edition.
The Green Guide provides an authoritative source of European good distribution practices and UK guidance, information and UK legislation on these activities. The new 5th edition, available since March 2022, has been updated to reflect the changes after the UK's exit from the European Union. Furthermore, it includes new guidance on pharmacovigilance for wholesalers, the naming of sites on a licence, self-inspection, and the responsible person for import (RPi).
The Green Guide is published by Pharmaceutical Press.
