The definition of 'Named Patient' supply
'Named Patient' medicine (sometimes reffered to as a 'Special') is a term used for a pharmaceutical product that is not available in the UK but is prescribed by a UK registered physician. It may not be marketed in the UK for a number of reasons but may be sourced in other countries or even manufactured specially. The 'patients name' and 'physicians name' must be recorded in order to keep track of the imported item. Importation must be first granted by the regulatory body that controls the flow of pharmaceuticals in and out of the country. Occasionally aditional information on a prescription will be necessary to satisfy import regulations.
We offer doctors and pharmacists a comprehensive service in ‘named patient’ pharmaceutical supply that adheres to the strictest guidelines laid down by government regulatory agencies.
