1.3 Medicines and therapies not prescribed by another provider

Where the patient is seeking to purchase, from the pharmacist or from other personnel for whom he or she has responsibility, any medicine, complementary therapy, herbal remedy or other healthcare product not prescribed by another healthcare provider, the pharmacist must ensure that the patient is provided with credible, understandable information about its safe and effective use, expected outcomes of therapy within the limitations of available information, what to do if side effects occur, storage and disposal requirements, and any significant risk of therapy or insufficiency of evidence about efficacy of the therapy, to allow the patient to make an informed choice.
