Medicines Act 1975.

This Medicines Act 1975 establishes a regulatory framework for the sale, supply, and manufacture of medicinal products in Singapore. The Act aims to protect public health by regulating the handling of medicinal products, ensuring that they are safe for consumption and properly labeled.
Except in accordance with a licence granted for the purposes of Section 5, a person must not (a) sell, supply or export any medicinal product; (b) procure the sale, supply or export of any medicinal product; or (c) procure the manufacture or assembly of any medicinal product for sale, supply or export. A person must not import any medicinal product except in accordance with a product licence or an import licence. A person must not manufacture or assemble any medicinal product except obtaining a manufacturer’s licence (Section 6). Other key sections of the Act address the sale and supply of medicinal products, distinguishing between those on a general sale list and those requiring a pharmacist's supervision. It prohibits the sale of medicinal products from automatic machines unless they are included in the general sale list and meet prescribed conditions. The Act also specifies that medicinal products must not contain extraneous matter unless its presence is an inevitable consequence of the manufacturing process. Regulations under the Act may prescribe requirements for the construction and maintenance of premises involved in the manufacture and sale of medicinal products, as well as the disposal of refuse. In addition, the Act makes provisions, inter alia, for: labelling and marking of containers and packages, advertisements, certificates for exporters of medicinal products, offences and penalties.
