Key legal question
Whether the medicines qualified as unlicensed but exempt under Art. 9(2)(c) HMG as own-formula preparations
Extracted holding
The exemption requires that the formula belong exclusively to the dispensing establishment; incomplete or non-exclusive transfer is insufficient.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that an own formula under Art. 9(2)(c) HMG is not satisfied by mere development by a manufacturer or by a non-exclusive or incomplete formula. The company failed to prove exclusive transfer of the complete formulas to the hospital pharmacy.
