Registered medical product and a dietary supplement - the differences and the impact on patient health
2019
Abstract
The differences between a registered medicinal product and a food supplement can be found on several basic levels - legislative, qualitative and therapeutic. There are many products on the Czech market (and not only there) that, based on their appearance, composition and possibly the information on the packaging, are similar, with possible negative impact on the health of the patient.
Patients are not usually able to assess the information declared on the packaging and their reliability. Therefore, there are at least some important facts about this issue.
