DND list now runs to over 610 items

A further 10 products have joined the ‘Drugs for which Discount is Not Deducted’ (DND) list from 1 June 2023, following representations by Community Pharmacy England (formerly PSNC). This takes the total number of products granted DND status to over 610 products.

The 10 additions are:

Ampicillin 250mg capsules
Chlortalidone 50mg tablets
Diazoxide 50mg tablets
Eudemine 50mg tablets
Flutamide 250mg tablets
Hydrocortisone 10mg soluble tablets sugar free
Hydrocortisone 2.5mg tablets
Mianserin 30mg tablets
Pyrazinamide 500mg tablets

In addition, from April, DND status has been automatically applied to all concession price items.
