As of today, persons coming to Azerbaijan or going abroad can bring and carry prescription drugs approved by the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority for personal use.
Publika.az reports that this was reflected in the amendment to the Law “On Medicines”.
According to the law, a drug that is considered necessary for the treatment of patients based on clinical protocols, but is not state-registered with its international non-patented name (the name of the active substance), can be written in the prescription. In this case, the prescription is submitted to the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority through the system, indicating the required amount of the drug.
Within two working days, the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority checks the compliance of the prescription with the clinical protocols and the information in the patient’s electronic health card and, according to the result, approves or rejects the approval of the prescription in the electronic system. After the prescription is approved by the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive power body, the medicinal product specified in the prescription, which is not state-registered, can be brought into the country.
This Law enters into force on January 1, 2024.
