<p>Ethical challenges related to pharmaceutical laws and regulations are <br>among the most significant challenges for pharmacists in fulfilling their <br>professional duties. Therefore, identifying these challenges and conducting <br>an ethical audit is a novel and effective approach for amending related laws <br>and regulations. The ethical challenges faced by pharmacists in providing <br>pharmacy services were explored through conducting a qualitative content <br>analysis study entitled "Exploring the Ethical Challenges in Providing <br>Pharmacy Services". The identified challenges were classified into various <br>categories, one of which was challenges related to pharmaceutical laws and <br>regulations. The challenges were extracted from a book entitled "Laws and <br>Regulations of Iran’s Pharmaceutical Affairs", analyzed, and divided into <br>three categories, including outdated laws and regulations, lack of proper <br>implementation, and insufficient control and supervision over <br>implementation. These rules and regulations were reviewed and analyzed <br>in comparison with the Code of Ethics for the National Pharmaceutical <br>System and an ethical audit was conducted. Raising awareness among <br>officials and policymakers in the health sector, especially regarding <br>pharmaceutical affairs, and taking necessary measures to improve laws and <br>regulations can ultimately enhance the quality of medical and <br>pharmaceutical services, ensuring that patients receive high-quality <br>pharmaceutical and medical care.</p>
