The medicines management team of NHS South of Tyne & Wear have spoken to the MHRA and as far as the MHRA are concerned this isn't an urgent action and can be left till the patients next review.
The medicines management team have now published an alert and Pharmacies should make thems elves aware of the contents.
GP's will be made aware of this via practice pharmacists and don't really need us ringing to change every patient asap.
For further information about this please contact Anne-Marie Bailey (0191-529 7214) at medicines management.
