Anyone wishing to run a pharmacy, whether as owner, leaseholder or manager, requires a license in accordance with the Pharmacy Act. This permit must be applied for at the locally competent district administrative authority (district administration office, independent city).
The pharmacy may only be opened once it has been approved by the competent authority and the latter has certified that the pharmacy meets the legal requirements.
The license can also be withdrawn or revoked by the competent authority under certain conditions.
