Gulf War Illnesses
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many veterans of the 1991 Gulf conflict self-administered Pyridostigmine Bromide; and how many suffered adverse side-effects as a result.
- Answer
-
It is not possible to verify how many of the 53,409 Gulf veterans self-administered Pyridostigmine Bromide, nor in what dose or duration individuals took the pre-treatment regime of nerve agent pre-treatment sets (NAPs). The uptake of NAPs was addressed in the Ministry of Defence paper Implementation of the Immunisation Programme against Biological Warfare Agents for UK Forces during the Gulf Conflict 1990-1991, published in January 2000, copies of which are available in the Library of the House.
