HC Deb 26 June 1972 vol 839 c261W
Mr. Small

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps have been taken to date to ensure the acceptance for prescribing of the drug prostaglandin, manufactured in the United States of America, for use in Great Britain; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alison

Applications for product licences for several prostaglandin preparations are under consideration by the Committee on Safety of Medicines for use in hospitals and specialised clinics on prescription only. No other applications have been received.
