Draft regulations for Original Pack Dispensing

Update – these regulations are no longer in draft – please see further information on the Original Pack Dispensing page.

Draft regulations on Original Pack Dispensing (OPD) and a requirement for sodium valproate and related products to be supplied in their original outer packaging (OP), subject to one exception, have been published.

These are explained in our briefing.

Please note: these regulations are in draft and, therefore, the regulations are not currently in force and may change before they come into force.

Get involved in preparations for the 2026/27 CPCF negotiations and work with us to map out a clearer way forward for the sector.
