Correct answer: B — Do not supply under the PGD outside its inclusion criteria

PGDs must be followed according to their authorised criteria. Supplying outside the PGD would not be legally covered. In this scenario, the correct option is do not supply under the PGD outside its inclusion criteria. The other options are plausible but do not address the key clinical, legal or safety issue as directly. This aligns with UK pharmacy practice guidance cited in the reference field.
