The Medicines Act 1968 classifies medicines into three main categories: prescription-only medicines (POM), which can only be prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional; pharmacy medicines (P), which can be sold in pharmacies without a prescription but under the supervision of a pharmacist; and general sale list (GSL) medicines, which can be purchased over the counter in various retail outlets without professional supervision. This classification helps ensure the safe and effective use of medications by regulating their availability based on their potential risks and therapeutic benefits.
