The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has redetermined the reimbursement prices for, Metformin 850mg/5ml oral solution sugar free (150ml) and Metformin 1g/5ml oral solution sugar free (150ml) for the month of November 2021.

The reimbursement prices will now be:

  • Metformin 850mg/5ml oral solution sugar free (150ml) – £43.98 (instead of £19.95)
  • Metformin 1g/5ml oral solution sugar free (150ml) – £52.00 (instead of £24.00)

PSNC sought a price re-determination for both of these drugs listed in Category A of the Drug Tariff because their reimbursement prices were incorrectly calculated for November 2021.
