Paper Prescriptions

If dispensing the unlicensed product on a paper prescription, the prescription should be written as ‘Selegiline 5mg or 10mg tablets (Special Order)‘. If not, reimbursement  may only be made based upon the Drug Tariff VIIIA price. When searching for the product on ProScript Connect, the [Imported] record should be selected from the picking list and the prescription should be endorsed with the standard non-Part VIIIB specials endorsements.

ETP Prescriptions

There is currently no listing on the DM+D Browser for the special order entry. Because of this you would currently be unable to endorse and be reimbursed for the special order product on an ETP prescription. If you did want to give the special order product, a paper prescription should be obtained and the above guidance followed.
