Product Information

The impact of this article is that where parenteral administration is being used (this is defined as administration by breach of the skin or mucous membrane), and it is for an emergency to save life, then s.58(2)(b) does not apply. This section states that no administration shall take place unless it is by an appropriate practitioner or a person acting in accordance with the directions of an appropriate practitioner. The Department of Health guidance on this issue does not state a specific time (see Green Book guidance) but does not recommend long periods of observation.

Where adrenaline is held as an emergency drug (and not specifically provided on a named-patient basis), any person competent to do so may administer adrenaline (using 1 mg/mL strength) at the doses recommended in this guideline, without the need for it to be prescribed first. However, the individual must be working within the standards of the relevant regulator (e.g. Nursing and Midwifery Council; Health and Care Professionals Council) or other supervisory body and competent in being able to recognise anaphylaxis and administer adrenaline, either from an ampoule by syringe and needle or an auto-injector device that has not been prescribed on an individual-patient basis. If you’re using an insulin syringe to administer an insulin injection to your dog, you need to know how much insulin to use. You’ll want to know whether the insulin syringe contains 40 units or 100 units. When choosing the right syringe, you can make sure it contains the right amount of medication and is easy to use. Aside from that, insulin syringes come with markings so that you can easily measure the correct amount. Adrenaline is a prescription-only medicine (POM). Under Regulation 214 of The Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (which can be found at www.legislation.gov.uk), “a person may not parenterally administer (otherwise than to himself or herself) a prescription-only medicine unless the person is “an appropriate practitioner” (e.g. doctor, dentist, nurse prescriber) or acting in accordance with the directions of such a practitioner. Some organisations may still wish to have a PGD in place as a framework to guide local practice and training needs. This is their choice as they are the ones who are vicariously liable for their practitioners. It is important that trained staff are not put in the position that they feel they cannot give adrenaline for anaphylaxis because they think they are “not covered” for this.Products and replacement parts for use with medical syringes; includes syringe caps, tubing, cleaning products, and replacement parts such as needles, barrels, and plungers. No, you don’t need to be carrying antihistamines and steroids. These drugs can be administered when the patient arrives in hospital. Adrenaline is the mainstay of treatment for an anaphylactic reaction. Steroids such as hydrocortisone are no longer recommended for the routine treatment of anaphylaxis. Antihistamines are not recommended for the treatment of Airway/Breathing/Circulation problems, in anaphylaxis. The key steps are using an ABCDE approach to recognise anaphylaxis, calling for help early and administering IM adrenaline. The risk of anaphylaxis after immunisations is very small. Considering these facts, it is not necessary to carry these drugs. Trainers should be skilled in teaching others and be able to demonstrate competency in teaching others how to recognise and treat anaphylaxis including the use of an adrenaline auto-injector. The following groups are suggested as trainers: doctors, nurses, resuscitation officers, registered paramedics, statutory ambulance service trainers, voluntary aid society and voluntary rescue organisation trainers, and other individuals such as accredited first aid trainers. This list is not exhaustive.

Parenteral Medications Injectable medications. Excludes oral, nasogastric, gastric, topical, and intestinal routes. Note, however, that this only applies to adrenaline which has not been prescribed on a named-person basis. Adrenaline which has been prescribed to a named individual, for example as an adrenaline auto-injector, can only be administered to that named individual under current legislation. Currently, the law does not allow a non-prescriber to administer an adrenaline auto-injector, which has been specifically prescribed for a named person to someone other than the person for whom it has been prescribed. Products and replacement parts for use with laboratory syringes; includes syringe caps, tubing, cleaning products, and replacement parts such as needles, barrels, and plungers.Medical syringes are used for drawing up and expelling liquids or suspensions. They are designed to fit appropriate needles, tubing, syringe filters, or similar devices, and are constructed of plastic, glass, or a combination of both. They may also have metal components.
