New
Medicines on the Market/New Medicines Profile (Stage 4) Monographs
The
aim of the 'New Medicines on the Market' series is to provide timely
appraisals of newly marketed medicines. Such reports are intended
to assist health professionals involved in defining medicine selection
policies e.g. members of medicine and therapeutics committees, primary
care pharmaceutical advisers, and prescribers. Emphasis is placed
upon a critical evaluation of supporting evidence and comparison
(wherever possible) with other medicines available for the management
of the same conditions.
Summaries
are authored by staff of regional medicines information centres
throughout the UK, and are produced according to a standard protocol
designed to ensure methodological quality and presentation consistency.
They
may be downloaded by following the pdf file links below and can
be read using the Abode Acrobat Reader (available from http:www.open.gov.uk/howto/acroread.htm).
For enquiries regarding individual publications, please contact
the regional centre of origin.
