Title | Prescribing issues experienced by people living with phenylketonuria in the UK |
Authors | Ford, S., O'Driscoll, M. and MacDonald, A. |
Abstract | Background: Foods for Special Medical purposes (Phe-free protein substitutes [PS] and low protein foods [LPFs]) are central to successful dietary management of patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). In the UK, PS and LPFs are prescribed by primary care general practitioners (GPs) and dispensed by high street pharmacists or via home delivery companies. As patients and carers commonly reported access issues with PS and LPFs through the National Society for PKU (NSPKU) helpline, the NSPKU collected more information about the extent of prescriptions issues via a questionnaire. |
