Afternoon, good people of NHS Specialist Pharmacy Service. Have just seen on wMC that Megace 160mg tablets SPC has been retired. Has it been discontinued? No update to Department of Health and Social Care MSN and no stock at wholesalers. Any news gratefully received!

Last August, Ennogen removed the brand name of their m/r dihydrocodeine products. This August, NHS reimbursement price of these will nearly double. Any link..?
