Inclusion of devices “less suitable for prescribing”

From Dr C. Johnson, MRPharmS

The inclusion of magnetic leg ulcer wraps in the March edition of the Drug Tariff leads me to wonder if the time has come for devices to have the category of “less suitable for prescribing”.

This would bring devices in line with drugs which are marked in this way in the British National Formulary, such as clonidine hydrochloride.
