PREFACE In Hong Kong, substances and pharmaceutical products are regulated under the Pharmacy & Poisons Ordinance & Regulations (Cap. 138), the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap. 134) and the Antibiotics Ordinance (Cap.137). Under the Pharmacy & Poisons Regulations, poisons are further classified into the First Schedule and Third Schedule. First Schedule poisons can be sold in a pharmacy under the supervision of a pharmacist. Third Schedule Poisons can only be sold in a pharmacy upon a prescription given by a registered medical practitioner, registered dentist or registered veterinary surgeon. Articles listed in the Second Schedule are exempted from the provisions of the ordinance & the regulations. Similarly, substances listed in the Part I Dangerous Drugs and Schedule 1 of the Antibiotic Regulations can only be sold in a pharmacy upon a prescription given by a registered medical practitioner, registered dentist or registered veterinary surgeon. The last issue of Poisons, Antibiotic and Dangerous Drug List was published in March 2009. The First Schedule, Second Schedule and Third Schedule poisons are incorporated in the list of Part I poisons. In looking up a particular poison or class of poison, the reader can tell at a glance whether the poison is also listed in the First Schedule, Second Schedule and Third Schedule of the Pharmacy & Poisons Regulations, or under what condition the poison is exempted. This issue incorporates the changes in the Poison list, the First, Second and Third Schedules up until January 2012. The Schedule 1, Part I Dangerous Drugs are also updated. There was no changes in the Schedule 1 of the Antibiotic Substances. This consolidated list aims to provide a quick reference for pharmacists, doctors and the trade. If there is doubt, please refer to the Pharmacy & Poisons Regulations (Cap. 138 subsidiary legislation), the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance (Cap. 134) and the Antibiotics Ordinance (Cap.137).
