dispensing exam

[smmiah1]

hi, i've got my dispenisng exam tomorrow and got a question. Was just wondering how you would know/where you would check to find out if a drug requires a home office licence. Is it in the mep or drug tariff, can't seem to find it anywhere.
I failed my mock exam for this, didn't know diconal tablets required one.

any help would be apreciated
thanks

Should be in the MEP but it's also in the BNF at the start, under CD prescribing guidance. Diamorphine, dipipanone and cocaine need a license for prescribing for addiction.

My first thought was licence for export, but obviously it is a licence for the prescriber. How about emergency scripts issued by A&E?
