Hi
>How did you find out and why isn't it listed as being available on the NHS in the BNF?
The BNF doesn't list a 'dipensing pack' because there isn't one. NHS prescriptions for acrivastine capsules will be filled using the OTC pack. OTC packs are available on the NHS provided that they are not 'blacklisted' in the Drug Tariff. They should be prescribed generically, not by brand.
>I hardly dare ask my GP for it
Hopefully she won't know how expensive it is.
>I hardly dare ask my GP for it, she discontinued my aunt's friend's co-codamol last week because it was "too expensive"
Oh well. At least co-codamol is relatively inexpensive to buy.

PS. I sent you an email.
