RE: Letter from MHRA dated 2004

[Guest guest]

Yes, this still stands. See attached. Show these to your doctor

if s/he tries to tell you that doctors are not allowed to prescribe unlicensed

medicines.

Dear Sheila,

There is a letter from the MHRA, dated 2004, in the files. It states that

'UK and European law recognises that there may be circumstances when licensed

products may not be suitable for some patients. The regulations on medicines

allow doctors to prescribe an unlicensed medicine for a patient to meet such a

special clinical need, on their own direct personal responsibility. Where these

unlicensed medicines are not available in the UK they can be imported by

appropriately licensed medicines wholesalers, for supply to a doctor or

pharmacy, to meet these needs. The importer is required to notify the MHRA in

advance of every occasion that they wish to import such a product.'

Is this letter still current or have regulations been changed since it was

written?

Many thanks,

McGowan
