There is a manufacturer's shortage of Sofradex ear/eye drops. NGH Pharmacy has no stock left. For ears - Gentisone HC eardrops may be used as an alternative and will be supplied instead of Sofradex to wards and theatres that usually keep it as stock. Gentisone HC ear drops CANNOT be administered in to the eyes.

This Formulary is intended for use by staff working within Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust. It is intended to guide treatment choice both for initiation in hospital and recommendation to primary care.

Formulary items are displayed at the top of each page. Next to each entry is a link to the BNF and SPC for more detailed prescribing information. Non-formulary items (including brands where generic prescribing is required) are shown in red at the bottom of each page.

For medicines classified as Double Red by NPAG, prior approval from the CCG is required before prescribing.
*Prior approval forms and shared care protocols can be accessed via the PathfinderRF site (password protected)
The user name and password is on the Medicines Management page (on Quick Links) of the hospital intranet or contact Medicines Information for the password if necessary.
