committee found proved that the supply of metformin 500mg tablets at a dose
of one tablet twice daily without the authority of a prescription; the supply
of gliclazide 80mg tablets at a dose of one in the morning and two at night
against a prescription calling for gliclazide 80mg tablets at a dose of one
in the morning; the supply of four dosette boxes which were not labelled to
indicate (a) the name and address of supplier, (b) date on which product was
dispensed, (c) name of product supplied, (d) directions for use, (e) precautions
relating to use; and (f) name of patient (in relation to three of the four
dosette boxes); erroneously informing a daughter of a patient that a prescription
had not changed from previous prescriptions in answer to a query; failing to
check the prescription before answering the above query; failing to provide
PILs unless a patient specifically asked for one; failing to provide a PIL
if a patient received new medicine in a dosette box, amounted to misconduct.
The committee further directed that no further action should be taken against
Lemongold Ltd (identification number 1002073).
