Hi,
A message to everyone who does not live in the UK.....
Clozapine is prescribed a lot in the UK for schizophrenia. It can only be dispensed from registered pharmacies. Patients who take it have to use the Clozaril Monitoring Service. Before the prescription is dispensed they have to submit their blood test results. Do they use the same system where you live?
Ed.
Another drug which can only be dispensed from hospital pharmacies in England is isotretinoin (Roaccutane/Accutane). Only dermatologists are allowed to prescribe it.
