§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now prohibit the prescription on EC10 forms of all drugs containing phenacetin in combination with salicylates including all sails and derivatives of salicylic acid in view of the danger to human kidneys.
§ Sir K. JosephOn the information at present available to me I do not consider it would be appropriate to prohibit the use of such products; doctors and pharmacists have been adequately warned about the possible adverse effects of phenacetin. The Committee on Safety of Medicines will keep this matter under review.
