Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD)

The UK MHRA has published on its website an overview of the medicines regulation and guidance in relation to the FMD as it applies to the UK.

European Directive 2011/62/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (the Falsified Medicines Directive) amends Directive 2001/83/EC on the Community code relating to medicinal products for human use.

The Falsified Medicines Directive is transposed through The Human Medicines (Amendment) Regulations 2013 [SI 2013/1855] which came into force on 20 August 2013.
