Technical-regulatory aspects of antiseptics and disinfectants in Italy.
The authors analyze Italian laws, in light of changes introduced with Legislative Act n. 178/91, which regulate products with antiseptic and disinfectant action. A new reclassification of medicinal, cosmetic and health products is considered and proposed. Particular attention is given to marketing criteria adopted by various producers with regard to the form of product presentation.
