SMC Update - March 2018

March 14, 2018 at 8:57 am | In Prescribing Extra - Drugs | Print Print | No Comments

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has issued its monthly advice on newly licensed medicines.

Lacosamide (Vimpat®) has been rejected for use as monotherapy in the treatment of partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalisation in adolescents and children from 4 years of age with epilepsy. The manufacturer failed to make a submission.

Action: Clinicians should be aware of the recommendations of the SMC. Routine use of rejected and restricted medicines should be avoided.
