February

Oseltamivir and zanamivir
Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) have been added to the Selected List Scheme and so may only be prescribed on the NHS in certain circumstances. Details of the change will appear in the February edition of the Drug Tariff. The Department of Health will pass for payment prescriptions dispensed in January that have not been marked “SLS” by the doctor, but from the 1 February, prescriptions for oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) will only be passed for payment if they have been marked “SLS” by the prescriber.
