Narrative
30 October 2013
Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
GPs are advised not to provide prophylactic treatment on NHS prescriptions for conditions that may arise while travelling e.g. travel sickness, diarrhoea. Patients should be advised to purchase these items prior to travel. Advice is available from community pharmacists if required. Patients should be advised to seek medical attention abroad for conditions that arise at that time and are unresponsive to self medication. For further information please refer to the medicines management guide to prescribing.
