- The 2,008 homeopathic products that have applied for marketing authorisation in the Spanish State must now obtain the required licence to market their products. Of these, 12 ask that the product can only be purchased with the permission of their doctor. All other products that have not applied for permission (obtaining the licence is a significant economic expense), some 4,000 products, will not be registered and therefore cannot be sold.
The Ministry of Health does not agree that the European Union should take homeopathy as a medicine. During the mandate of pp, more obstacles and controls were established in the conditions of registration of these products and the PSOE has followed the same line. It has recently sent a petition to the European Union for homeopathic products to leave the market in Spain. He has also told Europe that homeopathy is nothing more than a social conviction, a proven belief that it does not bear fruit, a business.
However, the Government of Spain, following the guidelines of the European Union, will register homeopathic products as medicines in Spain. It will be 2,008 products that we will be able to find on the market if we get the license. Of these, 12 ask that they be not available to everyone, that is, that they could only be obtained with a medical prescription.
