This work is a concise manual that approaches a wide range of issues arising in the field of Pharmaceutical Law in a scientific yet understandable and practical manner. It is the first systematic presentation of legal topics to be known and addressed by pharmacy students, but primarily by pharmacists themselves, pharmacy warehouses, pharmaceutical companies, and everyone involved in the broader sector of drug manufacturing and distribution.

Specifically, the general part of the work provides a thorough analysis of the concept and legal treatment of drugs, followed by a systematic presentation of all medicines by categories, in a way that facilitates understanding and practical application of the distinctions.

The second part develops specific issues such as the structural clinical aspects of medicines, licensing, pricing and reimbursement systems, organization and operation of pharmaceutical businesses, intellectual property rights, rules for the manufacture and production of medicines, civil liability issues, competition concerns, consumer and user protection issues, electronic commerce of medicines, and a detailed separate chapter on the profession of the pharmacist and practical issues encountered in their work.

The work concludes with reflections on Artificial Intelligence and innovation in the production and circulation of medicines, thus providing the most complete and extensive scientific overview of the most critical legal issues in the field.
