MHRA Has No Plans to Curb Pregabalin Prescribing by GPs
The MHRA has confirmed that it does not currently plan to take regulatory action on pregabalin prescribing by GPs. It comes after GPs in Northern Ireland were last month told they should no longer initiate prescriptions of pregabalin for neuropathic pain following a ‘significant increase’ in deaths related to the drug.
The drug was removed from the country’s formulary as the preferred option for the treatment of neuropathic pain but GPs will still be able to prescribe pregabalin where they deem it to be ‘clinically appropriate’.
