Regulatory status

Where S6 sits on the scale

S0S1S2S3S4S5S6S7S8

Prescription-only, no repeats without a new prescription.

Schedule 6 covers the most tightly controlled ordinary prescription medicines. Every dispensing needs its own new prescription; nothing can be repeated on the same script. When prescribed, the quantity must be written out in both figures and words. Its price, name, pack size and strength can still be told to the public, as long as nothing links it to what it treats.

Schedule S6, read from the product's PI-PIL leaflet.

Who may supply: A pharmacist dispensing against a written or verbal prescription from an authorised prescriber; a veterinarian, who may also prescribe, compound or dispense it directly; a medical practitioner or dentist, who may prescribe it and may compound or dispense it directly only if licensed under section 22C(1)(a); manufacturers and wholesalers may supply people who may lawfully possess it.
