Local pharmacies have finally won approval from the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) to sell erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs, today's Shanghai Morning Post reported.
"We've got the SFDA's sanction and will begin marketing the drugs soon after the National Day holiday," said Wang Yan, an official with Shanghai Food and Drug Administration.
However, only those pharmacies with Good Supply Practice certifications (GSP), the standard set by the FSDA, will be authorized to offer the ED drugs. As well, ED drugs will be only available on prescription and must be sold under the supervision of a pharmacist.
