The document discusses risks associated with prescribing and handling unlicensed medicines. It identifies key risks such as lack of appropriate formulations, dosing difficulties especially for pediatrics, uncertainty around how to dose or monitor new unlicensed drugs, potential administration and monitoring issues, and lack of product information due to foreign language labels. It also discusses risks related to the supply chain including regulatory compliance, quality of the supply, and potential for deception or counterfeiting if intermediaries without proper licenses are used. The document recommends pharmacists conduct risk assessments to evaluate what is known about adverse events and interactions of the unlicensed medicine, how it will be sourced, and the reliability and regulatory compliance of suppliers.
