Anyone been able to find out what the five prescription only drugs are?

[Fruitandnutcase]

Saw this (see below) in the paper yesterday, can't manage to find what the five are. Think one was a drug for diabetes but not sure and as I often take Wockhardt 25 mcg levo I am curious to know.

Gosh Rod - you are fast off the mark. I had a little bet with myself that you would be the person who would know the answer but that was faster than than i imagined. Very pleased to see that levo doesn't feature on their list! Have bookmarked that site .

Thanks

I saw the story somewhere (I think on Thursday) and went straight to the MHRA site. No levothyroxine in the list, nothing too urgent for real world patients, decided against posting it as I didn't want to worry people unnecessarily. However I knew it would get posted and very glad that it has been.

Anyway - that is why I was sort of ready and waiting.
