In the UK most medicines are ‘licensed’ but some are not. This leaflet explains why medicines are licensed and why some useful medicines do not have licenses.
Your doctor or pharmacist will have given you this leaflet because the medicines prescribed for you are not ‘licensed’ or are being used for a reason not covered by the licence. We want to reassure you that we have thought very carefully about the best medicine for you and wish to answer any questions you may have.
