The Medicines (Advertising of Medicinal Products) (No. 2) Regulations 1975
These Regulations provide that particulars relating to medicinal products for human use in certain advertisements issued in professional publications are not to be inconsistent with the relevant data sheet and that such advertisements must contain a notice that a data sheet relating to the product advertised will be sent on request to any doctor or dentist. The regulations also provide that 3 copies of the data sheet must be sent or delivered to the licensing authority not more than 15 months before the issue of any such advertisements. Regulation 3 provides temporary relief from these requirements in certain circumstances and regulation 4 makes it an offence to contravene the regulations and imposes penalties.
