Poisonous Substances List A

A, in the pharmacopoeia, denotes the list of poisonous substances for which special storage and dispensing regulations exist, unlike potent and all other medications. All poisonous medicinal substances listed in 'List A' must be stored (both in the prescription room and in other pharmacy premises) under lock, separately from other medicinal substances. The cabinets and drawers in which they are stored must be labeled: 'Veil epa' (poisons). When prescribing a poisonous substance in a dose exceeding the maximum single dose, the physician must indicate the quantity of this substance in writing with an exclamation mark added. If this requirement is not met and it is impossible to consult with the physician, the pharmacy dispenses the substance in a dose corresponding to half of the maximum single dose. In prescriptions containing poisonous substances, the method of administration must be specified. Without such indication, the medicine shall not be dispensed. Medicines containing poisonous substances in their composition cannot be dispensed repeatedly based on the signature without the physician's signature.
