Abstract
The Medicines Act makes few, if any, references to medicines, instead it refers to ‘medicinal products’ which it defines thus — ’any substance or article (not being an instrument, apparatus or appliance) which is manufactured, sold, supplied, imported or exported for use wholly or mainly in either or both of the following ways, that is to say —
-
(a)
use by being administered to one or more human beings or animals for a medicinal purpose;
-
(b)
use, in circumstances to which this paragraph applies, as an ingredient in the preparation of a substance or article which is to be administered to one or more human beings or animals for a medicinal purpose’ (section 130(1)).
