HC Deb 15 June 1979 vol 968 c335W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will issue advice to prescribing doctors not to use oxyphenbutazone for any condition of eye trouble other than episcleritis.

Dr. Vaughan

No. Although oxyphenbutazone preparations are useful agents for episcleritis, it must remain a matter of clinical judgment for doctors whether to use them in other eye conditions.
