[Rules by the Minister]

1. Title

These Rules may be cited as the Pharmacy and Poisons (Equivalents for Dealings in Drugs) Rules.

2. Interpretation

In these Rules, unless the context otherwise requires-

"ingredient" means a drug which is one constituent of a preparation which is itself a drug;

"mixture" means any liquid preparation intended for administration by mouth, which consists of one or more drugs dissolved or suspended in an aqueous or other appropriate vehicle;

"Table" means a Table set out in the Schedule;

"total quantity" means the total quantity of a drug or of a preparation which is itself a drug other than an ingredient.

3. Equivalents for weights and volumes of ingredients

Any unit of measurement mentioned in column 2 of Table 1 or column 2 of Table 2 shall be treated for the purpose of any dealing with quantities of ingredients as the equivalent of the unit set opposite thereto in column 1 of the Table, and for any fraction of one grain not specifically mentioned in column 1 of Table 1, the equivalent for such purpose shall be treated as the corresponding fraction of the equivalent of one grain set out in column 2 of that Table.

4. Equivalents for doses of liquids

(1) Where a prescription for any drug states that the quantity of each dose is to be either one fluid drachm (fl dr) or two fluid drachms, the equivalent of that quantity for the purpose of dispensing the prescription shall be treated as five millilitres or ten millilitres respectively.

(2) Where the prescription for any drug, which is a mixture, states that the quantity of each dose is to be one-half of one fluid ounce (fl oz), the equivalent of that quantity for the purpose of dispensing that prescription shall be ten millilitres, except as provided for in sub-rule (4).

(3) Where a prescription for any drug, which is a mixture, states that the quantity of each dose is to be two fluid drachms, the equivalent of that quantity for the purpose of dispensing that prescription shall be ten millilitres.

(4) Where a prescription for liquid paraffin or other fixed oil states the quantity of each dose in terms of fluid ounces, the equivalent of each half of a fluid ounce shall, for the purpose of that prescription, be treated as fifteen millilitres.

(5) Where any prescription to which this rule refers specifies the quantity of the ingredients of any drug in the total quantity to be dispensed, this rule shall be treated as applying to the quantity of each such ingredient in each dose.

5. Equivalents for total quantity prescribed for external or bulk oral preparation

(1) Any unit of measurement mentioned in column 2 of Table 3 or column 2 of Table 4 shall be treated for the purpose of any dealing with total quantities of drugs as the equivalent of the unit set opposite thereto in column 1 of the Table.

(2) Where in a prescription for an external preparation or bulk oral preparation the total quantity to be supplied is expressed in ounces avoirdupois or apothecary, the metric quantity supplied will be on the basis that one ounce avoirdupois or apothecary is equivalent to twenty-five grams.

(3) Where in a prescription for an external preparation or bulk oral preparation the total quantity to be supplied is expressed in fluid ounces (fl oz), the metric quantity supplied will be on the basis that one fluid ounce (fl oz) is equivalent to twenty-five millilitres.

(4) For the purpose of implementing the provisions of the preceding rules, Tables 3 and 4 shall be used.

(5) Where any quantity of an external preparation or bulk oral preparation is expressed in terms of one or more of the units mentioned in column 1 of Table 3 or column 1 of Table 4 and is greater than one pound or one pint, the equivalent, for the purpose of any dealing with the prescription, shall be treated as the corresponding multiple of the equivalent for one pound or one pint, as the case may be, plus the equivalent of any residue of less than a pound or pint as ascertained from the appropriate Tables.

6. Control of sale and supply

(1) Where any manufacturer, wholesale dealer or retail dealer sells or supplies any drug on or after the 1st January, 1973, he shall, if the order or prescription relating to such a dealing is expressed in terms of a unit of measurement specified in column 1 of Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4, or of any such fraction as is mentioned in rule 3, carry out such dealing in terms of the equivalent quantity ascertained in accordance with that rule.

(2) The provisions of rules 4 and 5 shall not apply to imported medicaments that are sold in their original containers as packaged by the manufacturer.

(ii) in the case of a preparation or surgical dressing which is named in accordance with proviso (ii) to rule 12, it shall not be necessary to state on the label the proportion of the poison contained in the preparation, and in the case of any dilution or admixture of such a preparation, it shall be sufficient to state the proportion which the preparation bears to the total ingredients of the dilution or admixture;

(iii) where the poison is in tablets, pills, cachets, capsules, lozenges or similar articles, or in ampoules, it shall be sufficient to state on the label of the box or other covering in which the articles are enclosed the number of the articles and the amount of the poison, or in the case of such a preparation as is mentioned in proviso (ii), the amount of the preparation, contained in each article.

(2) Where any proportion is stated as a percentage, the statement shall indicate how the percentage is calculated.

15. Labelling of certain substances with indication of character

In pursuance of the provisions of paragraph (c) of section 14 of the Act, the container of any article specified in the Sixth Schedule shall, instead of being labelled with the word "Poison", be labelled with the words specified in the said Schedule as applicable to that article.

[Am by GN 223 of 1957.]

16. Special precautions as to labels in case of certain articles

(1) It shall not be lawful to supply any poison-

17. Form of containers

It shall not be lawful to keep, supply or consign for transport any poison unless-

(a) it is contained in a container impervious to the poison and sufficiently stout to prevent leakage arising from the ordinary risks of handling and transport; and

(b) in the case of a liquid contained in a glass bottle of a capacity of not more than 120 fluid ounces, not being a medicine made up ready to be taken for the internal treatment of human ailments, or a sterile ophthalmic solution in a single dose sterile bottle enclosed in a sealed container, the outer surface of the bottle is fluted vertically with ribs or grooves recognisable by touch.

[As amended by 115 of 1967.]

(6) In any hospital, infirmary, dispensary, clinic, nursing home or other similar institution at which human ailments are treated and at which medicines are dispensed in a dispensing or pharmaceutical department in charge of a person appointed for that purpose, no medicine containing a poison shall, except in a case of emergency, be supplied from that department for use in the wards, operating theatres or other sections of the institution except upon a written order signed by a duly qualified medical or dental practitioner or by a sister or nurse in charge of a ward, theatre or other section of the institution.

(7) Where in any hospital, infirmary, dispensary, clinic, nursing home or other similar institution at which human ailments are treated, poisons are stored elsewhere than in a pharmacy under the direct control and supervision of a registered pharmacist such storage places shall be regularly inspected by the pharmacist in charge at intervals of not more than three months, or if no pharmacist is employed in such institution the Director of Medical Services shall make suitable arrangements for the periodic inspection of such storage places.
