Narrative
05 July 2023
Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)
The Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee agree that patients with the following conditions can be prescribed specific sunscreens under the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) advice.
- Photoaggravated dermatoses: pre-existing skin conditions that can be aggravated or exacerbated by sunlight on exposed areas of skin.
- Photodermatoses: skin disorders that are caused (rather than aggravated) by exposure to sunlight
For patients with these conditions, the following specific brands should be prescribed, namely: Anthelios® Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50+, Sunsense Ultra Lotion, SPF 50+ Uvistat® Lipscreen SPF 50, Uvistat® Suncream SPF 30 and 50. These brands of sunscreen will therefore be GREEN for ACBS indications only.
All other brands and uses of sunscreen will therefore be NON-FORMULARY.
