Committee Recommendations (1)
03 Mar 10 -
Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
Dr Tina Peers (consultant in family planning) provided the opinion that EllaOne is a useful treatment option in patients who are seeking emergency contraception between 72 and 120 hours after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Family planning clinics have been issuing FP10 prescriptions for a small number of patients but have been experiencing supply problems through community pharmacy since this is a drug not routinely stocked. As a result of this, the family planning service have themselves arranged a small stock holding at some of their clinics and follow a protocol for use of this drug. The committee agreed that, considering the tri-fold in cost compared to other available EHC products, this product should only be used in patients who are seeking such treatment post 72 hours
