Medicine Guides are reviewed and updated regularly. Whilst there are a large number of branded and generic medicines listed on this website, you may find that a medicine that you would like further information about is not listed. This may be because:
- The Medicine Guide for the medicine you are looking for is being developed
- The medicine you are looking for does not have a licence to allow it to be prescribed in the UK
- The medicine is more commonly bought over-the-counter (from a supermarket or pharmacy, for example) than prescribed by a doctor or other healthcare professional. The resource is being developed to include information about these medicines
What can you do?
- Make sure that you are searching for the medicine in the correct Health A-Z topic/condition for this website
- Try searching the electronic Medicines Compendium at emc.medicines.org.uk
- Contact your doctor, pharmacist or NHS Direct on 0845 46 47 for advice
