Special Online Ordering
At our cutting-edge facilities, we operate under MHRA regulations and licenses. We manufacture and supply Specials and unlicensed medicines (both Drug Tariff and Non-Drug Tariff lines) to pharmacies, hospitals, dispensing doctors, pharmaceutical wholesalers and NHS Trusts throughout the UK.
Pharmaceutical Specials, also known as unlicensed medicines, serve the unique clinical needs of individual patients when licensed medications are deficient.
Unlike licensed medicines, unlicensed medicines don’t require marketing authorisation before being made available to patients. UK legislation permits the production and distribution of unlicensed medicines for specific purposes, addressing the unique clinical needs of patients that licensed products cannot meet.
A Special prescription may be considered for a patient who:
Cannot swallow tablets or capsules
Has an allergy to certain excipients
Is unable to eat
Needs a unique concentration, strength, or formulation
Requires a specific formulation
Has intravenous nutritional requirements
Faces a shortage or long-term unavailability of a UK licensed product
