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 Prescribing Clinical Network does not recommend the use of perindopril arginine

Perindopril arginine will be considered BLACK on the traffic light system and prescribers should:
- NOT initiate perindopril arginine in any new patients
AND
- Switch any patients taking perindopril arginine to perindopril erbumine in line with NHS England guidance.
