<![CDATA[The sale of prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription remains a common issue in many pharmacies, despite clear regulations prohibiting such practices. This article is a narrative literature review aimed at analyzing the legal framework, pharmacist accountability, and the effectiveness of supervision concerning the distribution of prescription-only medicines in Indonesia. The review is based on five relevant scientific articles and a selection of applicable legal regulations. Findings show that regulatory loopholes, weak enforcement of administrative sanctions, and low public awareness regarding appropriate drug use contribute to ongoing violations.
