A “special” is a non-licensed medicine prescribed by the doctor to meet the special needs of an individual patient, when the licensed medicine can not be used. The doctors prescribe “specials” for various reasons: -the patient can not swallow tablets and a tailor made, liquid alternative has to be prescribed, -the patient is allergic to certain drugs excipients and a special medicine without those excipients is required, -the child can not tolerate certain flavours in a licensed medicine; prescribing a “special” with an alternative flavour aimes to increase compliance, -a non-standard strenght or concentration of licensed medicine is needed for certain medical conditions, -a licensed product is discontinued or temporarily unavalaible. |
