Competition Board report
South African Pharmaceutical Journal 1987 Jul; 54:199
Abstract:
A summary of a report by the South African Competition Board presented the problems of dispensing physicians and the establishment of professional fees by pharmacists. The Board decided, in principle, that there should be no profit on prescription drugs by any professional person who supplies medicines on prescription. The Board also indicated that pharmacists should be able to advertise professional fees.
