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)
