01 March 2017
Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The PCN recommends, as per NICE CG71 (updated July 2016), that patients with Familial Hyperchosterolaemia (FH) with intolerance or contraindications to statins or ezetimibe, should be offered a referral to a specialist with expertise in FH for consideration for treatment with either a bile acid sequestrant (resin), nicotinic acid or a fibrate to reduce their LDL-C concentration. For those patients, bile acid sequestrants should be considered BLUE (without an information sheet) on the traffic light system Specialists to initiate treatment or make a recommendation for the primary care prescriber to initiate treatment.
