NAPRA Schedule 3 Drugs must be sold within how close to a pharmacy?

NAPRA Schedule 3 Drugs, which are classified as “unscheduled” medications that can be safely sold without a prescription but still require oversight by a pharmacist, must be sold within a specific proximity to a pharmacy. The correct distance of 10 meters ensures that these medications are accessible to the public while still maintaining a level of supervision and safety. This distance is designed to facilitate the pharmacist's ability to provide guidance and information about the products being purchased.

Maintaining this proximity helps ensure that consumers can easily consult with a pharmacist if they have questions or need advice regarding the proper use of the medication. It also allows the pharmacist to maintain oversight on the sale of these substances, which, while available without a prescription, may have implications for public health if used inappropriately.
