The Latvian Medicines Verification System will be updated to release 5.0 on October 16. The installation of the release is scheduled for overnight starting at 21:00, during which temporary interruptions in system operation are possible.

In the third quarter of 2024, a total of 28 million transactions were carried out in the Latvian Medicines Verification System (LZVS). After the final verification, slightly more than 7.4 million medicine packages were supplied to citizens in Latvia.

From 1 January 2025, new rules on the labelling and packaging of medicines will come into effect across the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, under the Windsor Framework. These rules will prohibit prescription medicines in Northern Ireland from being labelled with European Union (EU) safety features. The requirements of the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) for medicines marketed and supplied in Northern Ireland will no longer apply.
