The cooperative for the distribution of pharmaceutical products Cofares has begun to distribute the
first rapid tests for
Covid-19
antibodies
among pharmacies
with the intention that these tests can be sold to the general population, the company reported in a statement.
On this matter, the Ministry of Health has informed Efe that the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) has learned of the supply of several self-diagnostic antibody tests that can be marketed in Spain and the rest of Europe since
"They have the CE marking issued by a notified body
.
"
The Ministry specifies that, once the product has that brand, it can be freely marketed throughout Europe,
always with a medical prescription
.
Instead, as an additional measure, the Agency has requested additional information from the manufacturers of these tests
for their review together with the Carlos III Health Institute
.
The pharmaceutical distribution cooperative has started supplying the drug stores with rapid antibody tests, which, it assures, "will be supplied from now on in a phased manner, at the rate
that these tests become available
on the market."
Cofares specifies that these tests allow the user to know the result in ten minutes, in his own home and with a
slight prick on the fingertip
and that the results are more than 90% effective.
