Committee Recommendations (2)

02 Sep 20 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Surrey and North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee does not recommend the use of vitamin B compound tablets and they will be considered Non Fomulary on the traffic light system
Current prescribing of vitamin B compound tablets should be reviewed (in line with the RMOC position statement document below). Patients should be checked for ongoing medical indication for prescribing and if there is a need to continue treatment, the patient should be switched to vitamin B compound strong tablets.

Note: vitamin B compound strong tablets are non-formulary for use in alcohol dependence (Profile : Vitamin B Compound strong - Alcohol dependence (res-systems.net)) but may be appropriate in refeeding syndrome (Profile : Vitamin B Compound strong - Refeeding syndrome (res-systems.net))

03 Jun 20 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

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.
