From 11 October 2023, new rules on dispensing valproate-containing medicines come into force which require manufacturer’s original full pack dispensing of valproate-containing medicines. This is to ensure that women always receive information about the harms of valproate during pregnancy.
The GPhC have emailed all pharmacy professionals on their register to highlight this important update.
Further information is available on the MHRA website. The MHRA have also published guidance on full pack dispensing of valproate-containing medicines.
