The use of licensed medicines maximises patient safety while minimising liability, but there are occasions when an unlicensed or off-label medicine is prescribed and dispensed. High attention payed to (ULM) Unlicensed Medicines in the UK. Recently £1 million worth of unlicensed erectile dysfunction medicines were seized in Berkshire by MHRA. ULM may only be supplied against valid `special` clinical needs of a patient. ( ‘Specials’ – medicines made under a specials licence by a manufacturer). Want to apply for `special` licence? Call PCL for consultation.
