The Legal Foundations of Pharmaceutical Regulations
Georgian legislation on medicines and pharmaceutical activity rests on the Constitution of Georgia, international treaties and agreements, the law governing this sphere, and other legislative and subordinate normative acts. The declared purpose of the law is to promote increased public access to reliable pharmaceutical products; to that end, it establishes the legal foundations for regulating the circulation of pharmaceutical products and defines the rights and obligations of natural and legal persons operating in this field. State regulation mechanisms extend to complementary medicinal products, biologically active additives and paramedical products only when an interested person voluntarily registers them under the national regime of state registration of pharmaceutical products, while a non-invasive contraceptive mechanical product is entirely free from the state regulation envisaged by the law.
