Keywords:
Highest Retail Price, pharmacy, pharmacies, medicines, consumer protectionAbstract
This study aims to explore the legal protection of consumers who purchase drugs above the Highest Retail Price (HRP) at pharmacies as well as the legal responsibilities of businesses in selling drugs above the HRP. Based on the prevailing regulations in Indonesia, this study analyzes how laws and government regulations protect the rights of consumers and regulate the obligations of business actors. The research method used is normative legal analysis with a statutory approach. The results show that there is adequate legal protection for consumers, but implementation in the field still requires strict supervision. This study emphasizes the important role of drugs in health services and the potential economic burden borne by consumers if drug prices are set too high. In addition, business actors who violate the price ceiling provisions may be subject to criminal and administrative sanctions in accordance with the applicable regulations.
