SDCCG and EPSOM ST HELIER - RED STATUS

The New Drugs & Interface Committee agreed that Ferracru (Ferric maltol) is available to be prescribed in the Trust by consultant gastroenterologists (or gastroenterology Specialist registrars under the guidance of gastro consultants) in IBD patients only. It has a place as an oral iron therapy in patients intolerant to at least one oral ferrous iron salt as an alternative to iv iron therapy.

Epsom & St Helier LOCAL DECISION

BLACK drug

The committee agreed that the evidence base using vitamin B12 injections to help improve the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME)was weak, long term safety was unknown and the treatment of CFS and ME with vitamin B12 was not currently supported by NICE.
The request to use it in the Trust or to recommend GP’s prescribe vitamin B12 in this patient cohort was rejected.
However it was recognised that a trial would be useful in strengthening the evidence base.
