Giles Owen, Northamptonshire CCG Deputy Director and Head of Prescribing & Medicines Management has previously highlighted in Tablet Press that 4 pens (4 months) of semaglutide are being prescribed and dispensed, when 1 months treatment is intended http://gp.northamptonshireccg.nhs.uk/downloads/prescribing/newsletters/tabletpress/TP_December_2019.pdf
Despite this they are still getting a number of incidents occurring each month. Please query any prescription for 4 pens (4 months) of semaglutide.
