November 13, 2023 at 11:36 am | In Prescribing Extra - Drugs | Print Print | No Comments

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

Progesterone vaginal capsules (Utrogestan®) has been rejected for use in the prevention of preterm birth in women with a singleton pregnancy who have a short cervix and/or a history of spontaneous preterm birth. The manufacturer failed to make a submission for this indication.

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