Decree No. 87-772, 23 September 1987.
This Decree sets forth regulations on advertising of pharmaceuticals. Under it, condoms are in general to be treated as other non-prescription medicaments with respect to advertising. In addition, any manufacturer or distributor seeking authorization to advertise condoms must, if the product is new, submit a file justifying the announced properties of the product as well as the address of the place or places of manufacture and an example of labelling of the product. The manufacturer or distributor may also be asked to furnish all information indispensable for the verification of the exactitude of the product. Comments appearing on packaging, containers, brochures, or instructions are in no case exempted from the requirement of obtaining an authorization to advertise.
