Committee Recommendations (1)

04 Dec 24 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee has agreed a RED traffic light status for the use of paraldehyde Olive Oil Enemas to treat seizures or status epilepticus.

Patients currently being prescribed paraldehyde olive oil enemas in primary care may continue if, following discussions with the patient / carer, the prescriber is satisfied that the treatment is appropriate and there are no safety concerns.

For all new patients prescribing should remain with the specialist team that initiated the treatment.
