    If you dispense narcotics, you must create an electronic dispensing slip. You can then send your dispensing notification to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) electronically.

    If you dispense narcotics in small quantities, you can create the dispensing receipt using the electronic form server receipt procedure. The dispensing notification is then sent electronically to the BfArM.
