Sažetak

Psychopharmaca are medications that,
besides their own specificities, require special “treatment”
due to the fact that they are designed for patients with mental
disorders, who could be unable to deside freely whether
to take them or not. Because of this, all the laws and regulations
regarding drugs must be read also in the context of
the application of psychopharmaca. In the article are listed
the most important determinants of the law on drugs and
medical products, and of the regulations of good clinical
practice, the regulations of approval procedures for marketing
of a new drug, the regulations of side effects follow-up,
the law on suppressing abuse of narcotics, the regulations
of conditions and ways of treating narcotics and psychotropic
substances and the law on protection of persons with
mental disorders, all having implications on treating psychopharmaca.
Finally are given notes on ethical problems
connected with their application.
