Written question asked by Lord Morris of Manchester (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Earl Howe (Conservative) on Tuesday, 11 October 2011.


Drugs: Pyridostigmine Bromide

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the usual duration of the treatment period for civilians prescribed pyridostigmine bromide.
Answer

Information on the age of National Health Service patients prescribed a medicine is not collected centrally, so no meaningful comparison can be made. It is for the prescribing clinician to decide for how long a patient should be prescribed a particular medicine, taking into account the patient's individual circumstances. Information on the usual duration of the treatment period for civilians prescribed pyridostigmine bromide is not collected centrally.
