Committee Recommendations (2)

The SLS has also been amended to remove current seasonal prescribing restrictions on oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) and zanamivir (Relenza®).

The change will enable primary care prescribers in England to prescribe influenza antivirals all year round, and not just within the period in which the Chief Medical and Pharmaceutical Officers have advised influenza is circulating in the community.

The Surrey Heartlands Area Prescribing Committee agreed the traffic light status of this drug and indication as part of the Joint Formulary review.
