Abstract
A complete review of the regulations applicable to blood derived medicines is made, including European legislation and its transposition into national legislation. This complex and comprehensive regulation is updated and commented to facilitate appropriate guidance to healthcare professionals for its consultation and use. Blood derived products, as chronic medication and susceptible of transmitting diseases, are very important in the pharmaceutical industry, they have a large social and mediatic impact and their manufacturing is based on the use of human plasma as raw material. The discussion on donating plasma altruistically or in remunerated manner and its effect on self-sufficiency for the availability of blood products is also addressed.
