Co-prescribing of antiplatelets / anticoagulants may be requested by a specialist in a number of scenarios.

The Medicines safety Group have produced an aide memoire to list the information that must be available to the primary care clinican  to support the safe prescribing of dual / triple therapies in primary care.
