Committee Recommendations
NHS England guidance to support clinicians on the prescribing of cannabis-based products for medicinal use:
The Surrey Heartlands ICS Area Prescribing Committee agree that Sativex for the treatment of spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis patients should be given a BLUE (no information sheet) traffic light status.
The specialist team will prescribe the first 12 weeks of treatment using the payment by responder scheme (3 vials free of charge), and will determine response to Sativex in line with the information in the licence [https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/602], before transfer of care is requested.
