Proprietary pharmacists' and doctors' relationships with companies

Proprietary pharmacists’ and doctors’ relationships with companies comprised by the medicinal cannabis pilot programme

Proprietary pharmacists (also called pharmacy owners) and doctors who want to establish a relationship with a company comprised by the pilot programme must notify their relationships to the Danish Medicines Agency or be granted permission by the Danish Medicines Agency to be connected with companies.

Companies comprised by the medicinal cannabis pilot programme are required to give certain information to proprietary pharmacists and doctors with which they establish a relationship. The companies also have a duty to inform the Danish Medicines Agency of which proprietary pharmacists and doctors they establish relationships with.

These rules are intended to promote unbiased prescribing, use and dispensing of cannabis end-products. In formulating the rules, regard has also been paid to ensuring the availability of cannabis products.
