BioMedica Sales Policy and Pharmacies
There are only two circumstances where we will permit the supply of our products to practitioners in pharmacies:
- Pharmacies acting to fill a script on behalf of a practitioner. This is on the condition that the product is to be kept with other scheduled medicines out of reach (behind the pharmacy prescription counter), and out of view. Under no circumstance should a BioMedica 'practitioner only' product be sold without a prescription.
- Pharmacies that have ‘full’ clinic rooms within the store. By ‘full’ we mean that the clinic should act like every other clinic. Consultation must occur in an enclosed space, with case history, diagnostic, prognostic and treatment records kept secured on site. Product must only be kept in, and dispensed from, the consultation room after consultation has occurred. Repeats must only be dispensed in a like manner by the practitioner.
Under NO circumstances should BioMedica products be displayed on retail shelves, nor should they be sold after a 'shop floor' consultation. BioMedica reserves the right to remove products when they are stored or sold inappropriately and from time to time will mystery shop approved pharmacies. If our products are being sold in a manner not in line with our policy, we will stop current and future supply from the pharmacy until further notice.
Should any practitioners become aware of a breach of our policy, please notify us so that we may immediately rectify the situation.
Conditions of Supply - Pharmacy Only
Along with BioMedica's extensive conditions of supply which can be read here, practitioners working within pharmacies must also agree to and adhere to the following conditions:
- The pharmacist agrees to treat BioMedica products in a similar fashion to an S4 medication and only dispense them upon receipt of a prescription from a qualified practitioner
- And/or the clinic/pharmacy/practitioner has an enclosed room where consultations take place
