[QUOTE="cugila, post: 87845, member: 15325"] Thanks Vivienne. As far as I can make out this is something particular to your area. AMBER (2) - Drugs that should normally be initiated by a specialist and prescribed by GP’s under a shared care guideline agreed by the NEEMMC. These would normally also be covered by an additional Local Enhanced Service in primary care. AMBER (1) - Drugs that can only be prescribed in general practice after specialist referral and initiation. The patient would normally be stabilised before prescribing responsibility is devolved. A shared care guideline is not required. AMBER 1. My understanding of this is that if you had been referred to a Specialist who had wanted you to go on Byetta, then it could have been prescribed on the NHS. See above. It may be advisable to discuss this with your GP ? I don't see why you should have to pay £68 per 30 days when the majority in the UK get it on prescription. :? Ken. [/QUOTE]
