PGD exclusion criteria — GPhC CRA MCQ

Correct answer: B — Do not supply under the PGD because the patient falls outside its criteria

A PGD must be followed according to its inclusion and exclusion criteria. If the patient is outside the PGD, supply under that PGD is not lawful even if the medicine might be clinically appropriate via another route. Chloramphenicol eye products have age and indication restrictions depending on classification and product. Verbal permission does not amend a PGD.
