There is currently no authorised medicinal product of the nature to which the Deputy refers available on the market here. Seeking of the necessary authorisations and placing on the market any particular medicinal product is a matter for the pharmaceutical manufacturers concerned.
Notwithstanding this, supplies have been sourced and made available on an unauthorised medicinal product basis where the relevant prescription was issued or initiated by an appropriate medical consultant.
