The current study aims to cover two main aspects. First we analyzed the development of the Romanian pharmaceutical legislation. Secondly, we evaluated how the Romanian pharmacy was influenced by these legislative changes. Two other previously published studies, followed the same theme regarding the progress of the pharmaceutical legislation, from the very first health law (1874) up to 1948. However, the current study aims to analyze the development of the pharmaceutical regulation from 1948 up to present. The results show that the quantity of laws is not important, but the power and the manner in which they are applied into practice. In the same time, a positive evolution is observed with respect to specific quantitative indicators in the pharmaceutical assistance of the population, although a deficit in quality is clearly revealed.
