Unlicensed Specials

by | Mar 2, 2022 | Blog, RP Forum, Training

Unlicensed Specials – Medicines made by manufacturers under a “Specials” licence. In the UK it is expected that medicines, being supplied and available to the public have been subject to clinical trials and hold marketing authorisation or a license that has been granted by the MHRA (Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency). The use of licensed medicines protects and maximizes patients’ safety and minimizes potential liability.

However, sometimes there are no suitable licensed products available for a patient’s specific clinical need and there are times when Unlicensed Medicines (ULM) are prescribed & dispensed.

Pharmacy staff regularly obtain and supply unlicensed ‘special’ medicines. However, compared to licensed medicines there are less well-defined parameters for the safe and effective use of ULM’s and have been associated with increased risks.
