Could see some being switched for licensing reasons - some ACEIs licensed for more indications that others. Most likely due to PCT pressure but not sure if it is a logical step to take. I'd be focusing on reviewing patients on sartans who have not tried an ACEI. |
The logic of some of the PCTs is quite hard to follow.
I wonder if someone has gone round touting a branded generic of peridopril on the grounds of consistent quality?
