CD handout quick check

This page is for my personal use and is not a replacement for your own judgement.  There will be omissions and this will not be kept up to date. Check the date on all prescriptions marked CD  . . Take care because some CD prescriptions are not marked as such, especially schedule 4 CDs and these too must not be handed out after 28 days from the date on the prescription. Schedule 4 is split into parts 1 and 2.   Schedule 4.1 contains mainly benzodiazepines and sleeping tablets.  Look out for: (Not an exhaustive list. Some brand names included in brackets) Alprazolam (Xanax) Drugs ending -azepam (Note that temazepam is a Schedule 3 CD and should be kept in the CD cab) Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) Clobazam (Frisium) Flurazepam (Dalmane) Lorazepam (Ativan) Zolpidem Zopiclone (Zimovane) Easily missed are the  schedule 4.2 CDs like:   Testosterone , look out for the following brands: Testogel Testim Testavan Tostran Sustanon Nebido Chorionic gonadotrophin , look out for the brand: Ovitrelle O
