Reč je o lekarima najčešće vlasnicima privatnih ordinacija, ordinacijama, klinikama, poliklinikama i dr. zdravstvenim ustanovama i prodavnicama lekova koji masovno propisuju (najčešće za novčanu nadoknadu) ili prodaju kontrolisane i nekontrolisane (čak i neregistrovane) lekove/sredstva čiji efekat može biti i jako štetan (npr., narkotička sredstva, antidepresive, sredstva za potenciju, neregistrovane hormone itd..)

Example sentence(s):
  • Privatne klinike propisuju neregistrovani hormon Utrogestna koji je nemoguće refundirati. Utrogestan vam prodaju na poverenje, ispod tezge, uz dokaz da ste trudnica, jer se boje inspekcije. - Farmaceutska komora RS
