Pharmacy at Gas Stations: What the Cabinet Allowed and 2026 Requirements

Reviews of our Clients
As of 2026, the presence of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines on gas station shelves will become a common sight for drivers and residents of remote areas. The Cabinet of Ministers' decision to permit the retail sale of medications without establishing a full-scale pharmacy has opened a new revenue stream for fuel retail. This state response addresses limited pharmacy accessibility under martial law, power outages, and in rural, remote, and frontline regions.
However, launching such a format requires a clear understanding of the rules. The model for selling medicines at gas stations involves specific licensing with clearly defined requirements and liabilities. Violating these standards carries the same legal consequences as for traditional pharmacies; therefore, legal precision in setting up these processes is vital for the stable operation of the network.
