Abstract

Abstract : We unwisely said that a general practitioner needs a consultant's letter to justify the prescription of Pregestimil or a similar borderline substance. Officially no such letter is needed, but we feel that, especially in the case of a rare disease, it can help to ensure that the patient gets the treatment without administrative trouble.
