SUMMARY OF THE COMMISSION ON HUMAN MEDICINES MEETING HELD ON THURSDAY 20 APRIL 2006.
Department of Health (DH) introduced the proposals saying they were intended to update the exemptions currently held by registered podiatrists for the sale, supply or administration of specific medicines in the course of their professional practice.
In conclusion, the Commission accepted the balance of positive views from the consultation exercise and agreed that the following medicines should be added to the range of medicines available to podiatrists: i. For parenteral administration: Methylprednisolone Acetate, Levobupivacaine Hydrochloride, Robivacaine Hydrochloride and Adrenaline. ii. POMs for sale or supply in the course of their professional practice: Silver Sulfadiazine, Tioconazole 28%, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin and Flucoxacillin. iii. P medicine: Terbinafine 1% and Griseofulvin 1%.
I have contacted the Society the MHRA and the HPC but nobody seems to know what the next stages are in this consultation process.
How vague we are as a profession! Can anyone throw any more light on this subject.
Regards
Mark
