9 Prescribing guides Mrs LE has seen Dr Millard a dermatology consultant at QMC about her discoid lupus erythematosus. He would like you to prescribe Chloroquine to treat the condition dose = chloroquine (as base) 150mg daily. - You check the dose in the BNF and the indication and dose are correct do you prescribe??
10 Checking a new medicine Is the indication and the dose reasonable? Is the dose licensed? Has it been given a traffic light? Does any monitoring need to be arranged As a prescriber do I have enough knowledge to prescribe?
11 APC & Traffic lights - 1 Area Prescribing Committee APC website Drugs are considered for classification at APC Shared care guidelines / clinical guidelines Formularies / position statements
12 APC & Traffic lights - 2 Joint formulary website Is it on M&A Preferred Prescribing List (PPL)? The website is a guide and GPs can choose not to follow it if they believe they have reason, but the reason should be documented.
13 What do the traffic lights mean? Red specialist secondary care only Amber 1 initiated by specialist, shared care once stable (with a protocol) Amber 2 primary care prescribing after specialist recommendation Amber 3 Primary care / non specialist may initiate under APC guideline Green routine use Grey not recommended at the present as limited clinical/cost effective data

16 What about MRS LE? The dose prescribed would be reasonable The traffic light list states chloroquine is red for dermatology in this condition. Refer back to consultant and ask that they retain prescribing responsibility
17 Scenario 2 MR HT has had a heart transplant at Newcastle Hospital in 2001 and is stable on his anti-rejection medication including tacrolimus and azathioprine. He has recently moved to the area from Durham and wants you to prescribe these as his last GP did. He only has one week supply left Do you prescribe?
18 Mr HT Both medications are traffic lighted as RED in Nottinghamshire No local heart transplant specialist Contact the specialist at Tertiary centre Request consultant takes back the prescribing Confirm the dosages needed and supply enough until the prescribing can be passed back Consultant will prescribe and CCG will be charged for the cost of this medicine.
19 Mrs T (Part one) Has RA Started oral methotrexate by hospital now on 20mg weekly Consultant writes to ask you to prescribe Do you agree to prescribe?
20 Shared care protocol Shared clinical responsibility outlined in a standard agreement Passed by APC Only for stable patients For the stated clinical diagnosis only

31 Other CD info All private prescriptions for schedule 2 and 3 CD s need to be on a FP10PCD All CD s in a surgery or doctors bag need to be recorded in a CD register and monitored
32 Specials - Unlicensed / off label Unlicensed medication is no UK licence on the product e.g. melatonin Unlicensed indication/off label used for a UK licensed medication being used for an unlicensed indication e.g. in children
33 Considerations before using a Special 1. Is the medication still needed at all? 2. Can the patient have a licensed product in a different form e.g. dispersible or liquid? 3. Could you change to a different drug within the same class? 4. Consider using a licensed drug in an unlicensed manner e.g. by dispersing in water or crushing. 1. Not MR / SR as it destroys the release mechanism 2. Not cytotoxic or EC 5. Prescribe the special documenting the reasons for doing so. NB: Patient / carer must be aware that medicine is unlicensed
