The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care takes great care in providing information on drug specialties, procedure completions as well as reconciliations of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care on this website and via data interfaces.
However, despite the greatest possible care, errors cannot be completely ruled out.
If, for example, there are inconsistencies with regard to the specialist or usage information enclosed with the medicinal product and information on the pages of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care, the content of the respective technical or usage information for use shall apply.
For legally binding information, please contact us at basg@basg.gv.at.
The Federal Office for Safety in Health Care therefore accepts no liability for the accuracy, completeness and actuality of the content. In particular no liability is accepted for any direct or indirect damage arising from the direct or indirect use of the content provided.
In the event of any failure to use the website, electronic data provision and data interfaces due to technical or organizational faults, no claims of any kind whatsoever can be made against the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care. If you download, obtain and further use the data and content offered, the content may not be changed and further use is at your own risk.

Note on the availability of medicinal products
It is further pointed out that the Register of Proprietary Medicinal Products exclusively reflects the marketing authorization status of a proprietary medicinal product; it depends on further factors outside the area of responsibility of the BASG whether the proprietary medicinal product is actually marketed in Austria. In this context, please also refer to our information on the availability of medicinal products.
Terms of use for eServices
The terms of use are composed of the applicable submission regulation of the Federal Office for Safety in Health Care and the provisions listed below.
It should be noted that each authorized person has to register only once. This is because the initial registration as a user includes a so-called 'administrator authorization'. In order to obtain this authorization a legitimation of management board, a so-called Letter of Authorization (LoA), is required. In addition, an actual valid excerpt from the company register (or a foreign equivalent) must be provided.
Administrators can grant (administrator) rights to other persons in their area of responsibility, make changes to these rights or withdraw them again. The creation of additional users is done by the administrator. The administrator agrees that his contact data will be passed on for this purpose. If additional users are granted rights by the administrator, the same duties of care regarding user identification and personal password apply to these authorized persons as to the administrator himself.
If an already created organization requests another registration, the administrator of the already created organization will be informed.
The user identification and the personal password must be kept carefully in order to prevent unauthorized access by third parties.
The administrator will be informed about changes of the terms of use by e-mail.
