73In that context, attention must be drawn to the very particular nature of medicinal products, and in particular prescription-only medicinal products, which are alone at issue in the main proceedings, in that the therapeutic effects of medicinal products distinguish them substantially from other goods (see, to that effect, judgments of 19 May 2009, Apothekerkammer des Saarlandes and Others, C‑171/07 and C‑172/07, EU:C:2009:316, paragraph 31 and the case-law cited, and of 11 December 2003, Deutscher Apothekerverband, C‑322/01, EU:C:2003:664, paragraph 117).
