Medication: what you need to know
Before a product can legally be called a medicine, it must undergo a series of controls and meet strict standards. Clinical validation is mandatory to prove therapeutic effects and highlight adverse effects. A complete pharmacological, toxicological and analytical dossier must be submitted to the Inspectorate, which may or may not approve the sale of the product. Medicines also continue to undergo controls and analyses while on the market.
Contrary to popular belief, there are herbal medicines.
