"I had a script on friday (15/9) for methadone, 36ml daily, dispense 252ml on 14/9 for a patient I know fairly well. What to do? Could I find the appropriate section in the MEP? No. So I phoned my former pre-reg tutor, who said that he had reduced the amount accordingly plenty of times in the past, so that was what I did (he also happens to be the professional services manager for the group I work for). I've now found the section in the MEP where it says about CD scripts being dispensed only in accordance with the prescribers directions (so I take this to read that I shouldn't have dispensed it)."

Steve, we do also dispense the remaining doses if some were missed " up to 2 times, as if they miss it 3 times they have to see the drug centre for evaluation and dose-adustment". is this considered an illegal supply? i do remmember reading we are allowed to do it in the SOP?
