title: [Over-the-counter drug sales in pharmacies].
abstract: The present legally unregulated and ever-increasing assortment of over-the-counter drugs sold in pharmacies has been analyzed. The assortment has been divided into 14 categories in which the number of sold package and their financial values was examined. The classic pharmaceutical assortment (registered mass-produced medicaments, requisites needed for health care, milk products, unregistered vitamin preparations and dietetic preparations) represent the decisive share in the financial value and number of packages of the over-the-counter assortment in pharmacies. Further extension of the supply of pharmacies with nontraditional assortment does not appear to be suitable.
