Abstract: The study analyses the market for the sale and distribution of prescription medicines for human use that are dispensed through pharmacies in Spain, from the perspective of competition and the principles of efficient economic regulation. The study identifies areas where public health objectives can be achieved more effectively by incentivising competition and economic efficiency and makes some recommendations for regulatory improvement in this regard.
