Wholesale distribution of certain substances

Updated 09 April 2024

Here you will find guidelines and forms for applying for authorisation to wholesale distribute certain substances within the EEA (wholese distribution authorisation). The Danish Medicines Agency issues wholesale distribution authorisations in accordance with Section 39 of the Danish Medicines Act.

Certain substances are a term for substances that have anabolic, anti-infectious, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory, hormonal, euphoric or psychotropic properties that may be used in animals.

The wholesale distribution and import of certain substances requires an authorisation. The requirement also applies to products containing one or more of those substances as a constituent.
