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 ‘off label’ dosulepin for the treatment of neuropathic pain.
