Médicaments sans ordonnance : pharmaciens et laboratoires veulent élargir l'accès à certains traitements courants
L'Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament se montre jusqu'ici peu encline à assouplir l'accès à ces traitements, craignant un risque de mésusage.

Des pharmaciens et des laboratoires souhaitent rendre accessibles sans ordonnance plusieurs médicaments destinés à traiter des maux du quotidien, des brûlures d'estomac aux mycoses, selon Le Monde.
Jusqu'à présent, l'Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament (ANSM) s'est montrée peu encline à ouvrir les vannes sur ce type de traitements.
L'agence redoute en particulier qu'un accès facilité à certains médicaments ne favorise leur mauvais usage ou leur surconsommation par les patients.
Le débat oppose ainsi les acteurs de la filière, qui mettent en avant la simplification de l'accès aux soins courants, aux autorités sanitaires, soucieuses de préserver un usage encadré des traitements concernés.
L'issue de ces discussions pourrait avoir des conséquences sur la liste des médicaments disponibles sans prescription médicale dans les pharmacies françaises.
