AMMAN — Pharmacy and medicine warehouse owners and representatives of the pharmaceutical sector on Thursday stressed that it is “difficult” to apply the tax hike on medicines as of Sunday, especially that changing tens of millions of price labels cannot be completed within three days.

During a meeting at the Jordan Pharmacy Association, stakeholders called for taking into consideration that medicines are priced by the Jordan Food and Drug Administration, adding that laws ban pharmacies to change price labels, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

They also said that changing price labels at 3,200 pharmacies, 500 medicine warehouses and 20 medicine factories is “impossible” within three days.
