Committee Recommendations (2)
At the Surrey and North-West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (APC) held in June 2020, it was decided that all BLACK status drugs would have their review dates extended for 5 years without the need for a review.
If a clinician or provider wishes to change the traffic light status of any BLACK drug then they will need to submit a paper for change as per usual APC process.
The PCN does not recommend the use of the combination product Combidart® (dutasteride & tamsulosin) as a treatment option for lower urinary tract symptoms in men and has assigned a BLACK traffic light status to this treatment
Patients whose treatment was initiated by the NHS before this recommendation was made, must be reviewed by their NHS consultant but should be able to continue treatment until, the patient and their NHS consultant consider it appropriate to stop.
