DDB Advisory

Here’s the advisory issued by the Dangerous Drugs Board allowing the use of ordinary prescription for medical preparations containing dangerous drugs.

Issued on May 15, the DDB considered the declaration of public health emergency as a compelling reason to relax the rules on prescription of dangerous drugs for legitimate medical needs.

For the duration of the State of Public Health Emergency in the country pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 922, an ordinary prescription in triplicate copies may now be used in lieu of the Special Prescription Form for Dangerous Drugs (SPFDD) also known as Yellow Prescription in prescribing dangerous drugs registered with the Food and Drug Administration.
