had a dental script presented today for
"Sodium fluoride mouthwash BP"
No quantities, no strength, no directions...
No dentist's phone number, and the practice stamp made the signature illegible...
Well, we struggled!
Couldn't find any mention of this mouthwash in the 1968 BP, our most up-to-date one; Martindale only mentions if preparations are USP, not BP; the BNF tells you that the 0.05% one, the 0.2% one, and the 2% one are all allowed on FP10D and WP10D, but doesn't actually tell you which strength the BP formula is; Superintendant's Office was stumped too, as was the NPA's information service...
AAARGGHHHH!!!!!!
