§ 23. Dr. Strossasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there are at least five suspensions of penicillin V, with different trade names, but identical in composition, and that many firms market identical preparations of hydrocortisone ointments and creams with differing trade names; and, in view of this, whether he will advise that prescribing on EC 10 forms should be according to the official standards and names as laid down by the British Pharmocopœia and the British Pharmacopœia Codex.
§ Mr. PowellYes. Doctors have already been asked to prescribe by official titles.
