Committee Recommendations (2)
The Surrey Heartlands Area Prescribing Committee agreed the traffic light status of this drug and indication as part of the Joint Formulary review.
Primary care prescribers do not have the necessary equipment or skills to perform ocular pressure readings to make a diagnosis. The APC recomments that this product, when used for treatment of glaucoma, should be considered as BLUE.
Note; the branded product (Trusopt) was considered BLACK at the PCN in May 2017.
