Items which should not be routinely prescribed in primary care

This policy guidance includes medicines:

[…]

that are clinically effective but not the most cost-effective intervention available

that are clinically effective but deemed a low priority for NHS funding.

Prescribers are advised that no new patients should be started on these items, that they should be deprescribed for current patients and that, where possible, suitable alternatives should be identified for patients.
