The Amended Law on Pharmacy simplifies some procedures for the pharmaceutical field, and will take effect on July 1, 2025, except for regulations on drug registration and rights and responsibilities of certain types of pharmaceutical business. Some outstanding points in the Amended Law on Pharmacy are presented below. E-commerce Distribution The Amended Law on Pharmacy allows trading in pharmaceutical products by the e-commerce channel, including e-commerce trading floors, e-commerce sales applications, and e-commerce sales websites with online ordering functions. Accordingly, e-commerce retail of non-prescription drugs is permitted if the drugs are neither specially controlled drugs nor drugs included in the list of drugs restricted for retail sale, and e-commerce wholesale of drugs and drug materials is permitted, as long as they are not specially controlled drugs."}
