If any of you are thinking of prescribing GTN ointment 0.2%, I think I ought
to point out that the source of supply makes a great difference to the cost.
It's about £20 per tube from QMC Nottingham (but long dated because they've
carried out stability testing) or about £7 from the Huddersfield Royal
Infirmary in a glass jar with a one month expiry date. Of course your local
pharmacist might dilute Percutol, but I've not known community pharmacists
mess around like that for several years now.
