Serbian medicine authorisations specify whether a product is supplied on prescription or without one. Prescription medicines require medical oversight; non-prescription medicines may be requested directly but still have approved indications, doses and warnings.
ALIMS authorisation, prescription status and RFZO reimbursement are related but separate. A medicine may require a prescription without appearing on a reimbursed list, or reimbursement may depend on diagnosis and administrative conditions.
The pharmacist checks the prescription, interactions and safe use. Ask about the current status of the exact product rather than relying on how a similar medicine was supplied abroad.
