About membership

Who can be a member of PAGB?

PAGB welcomes all eligible companies to apply for membership.

We organise our members into three types; see below for eligibility.

We are proud to represent companies large and small, from across the UK. Our members manufacture, distribute and advertise a diverse range of consumer healthcare (OTC) products, that means non-prescription products that are available to buy from a pharmacist, or products that are self-selected from the shelf in a pharmacy, or other retail outlet.

We also welcome applications for membership from companies that are seeking to reclassify a medicine, i.e. undertaking a switch from a prescription only medicine (POM) to a pharmacy (P) or general sales list (GSL) category medicine; or developing a new product.
