How Far Red Rock From Green Valley

but not in the list of transparency

The drug MONTEGEN 4 MG 28 ENVELOPES (cost € 51.49) is a drug based montelukast. Since
that this product is currently unavailable in the normal distribution channel, a chemist asks if you can replace it with SINGULAIR, 28 mg always 4 ENVELOPES (cost € 51.49).
The problem is that this drug is not on the lists of transparency. What to do?

Although long since expired, the Convention provides that the NHS pharmacist may, in cases of necessity and urgency , dispense a drug similar to having the same composition as quantitative, or number of the same dose, same dose is the same price or less than the original medicinal product. Considering that

  1. the 2 drugs are identical
  2. the drug is intended for a pediatric patient
  3. the redemption price is the same
pharmacist may dispense prescription SINGULAIR noting on the back of a sentence like " for urgency, often with the same active drug , dosage, quantity as Montegen temporarily unavailable the distribution system. "
