HISTORY OF THE MEDICINAL REGULATION IN BULGARIA

About

Medicinal regulation is the contemporary internationally adopted term to denote the totality of activities carried out by the state in different spheres of the pharmaceutical sector so as to ensure society with medicines of high quality, efficiency and safety.

In compliance with the adopted terminology nowadays, established on the basis of long scientific and practical experience, a medicine is any finished product which is a substance or combination of substances intended for the treatment or prophylactics of diseases in people and is offered in a finished package, as well as a substance or combination of substances administered to people to diagnose or recover, correct or change man’s physiological functions.

This definition emphasizes the useful and more popular aspect of medicines. Yet the latter is a product which may be dangerous as well.

This was a fact known by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, who 1000 years B.C. controlled the production of healing remedies. This was a fact known by the muddy ahibi in the Arab countries, who controlled the extracts contained in medicines at that time.

That is what the people of the 20th century recalled, when in the early 60’s, the thalidomide, taken against morning indisposition, led to the birth of more than 6 000 babies with deformities. The thalidomide tragedy made people understand that medicines are products which require an obligatory, constant and stricter control, in compliance with the development of human knowledge.

Bulgaria is a country which in its postliberation history has paid due attention to this process and today, grounded in tradition, is defending its place of a European country with an up-to-date medicinal regulation.
