Pharmacy Act 1852
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2021) |
The Pharmacy Act 1852[1] was the first legislation in the United Kingdom to regulate pharmacists and druggists.
It set up a register of pharmacists and limited the use of the title to people registered with the Pharmaceutical Society, but proposals to give the society exclusive rights to sell drugs or poisons were rejected.
