Anyone here regularly prescribing glucosamine to OA patients.
One of our local rheumatologists is dead keen on the notion and hardly a
letter escapes his signature without a comment that the patient would
benefit from this.. er... supplement? Extract? Protein?
For a long time, I thought it wasn't prescribable, but now, having asked the
PCT prescribing jobsworth, I find that it *is* prescribable, but
*unlicensed*.
Nice.
Or, should that be NICE!?!
So, I've been prescribing a bit of glucosamine & chondritin (because I can
spell it) recently.
Am I very wrong?
