Prescription status reflects whether a medicine needs medical diagnosis, monitoring or tighter controls. Medicines authorised for non-prescription supply still require careful use and may be restricted to pharmacies.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, product authorisation is national, while reimbursement lists, insurance contracts and dispensing procedures can differ between entities and cantons. That means the same authorised medicine may have different reimbursement or administrative conditions depending on where a patient is insured.
Ask the pharmacist to check the current product status, interactions and applicable insurance rules. Never use another person's prescription medicine, and seek medical advice when symptoms are severe or persistent.
