This primarily applies to medicines that can lead to addiction, reports the Danish news agency Ritzau, citing a press release from the country's trade association for pharmacies.
During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, the Danish Civil Protection and Emergency Management Authority urged citizens to be extra vigilant in the coming period to avoid fraud.
This applies to unexpected contact by phone, text message or email, said Laila Reenberg, head of the authority.
Reenberg also said that citizens' CPR numbers can no longer be used for identification. Companies are therefore being urged to use alternative systems to identify citizens.
If someone provides a CPR number, you can no longer count on having identified a specific citizen.
Earlier this week, it emerged that unauthorized individuals had gained access to, among other things, the names, addresses and social security numbers of 8.8 million people in the so-called CPR register.
Denmark has just over 6 million inhabitants, but the leak also includes information about people who have died or emigrated.
