[Pharmaceutical distribution]
Currently, pharmaceuticals in Japan are distributed from pharmaceutical companies to consumers along the route shown in Figure 2.

The portion that is distributed through the so-called separation of medical and pharmaceutical functions, in which prescriptions are issued by hospitals and clinics and then pharmacy (dispensing pharmacy) provides the medical drug to the consumer (patient), is less than 10%.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "prescription drugs" is listed below.
