Product Description

An integral part of the UK’s healthcare infrastructure and relied on by health professionals who prescribe, dispense, and administer medicines globally. Containing guidance on best practice in prescribing, as well as legal and ethical considerations, BNF supports safe and effective decision-making at the point of care.

Extensive content updates in the BNF 86 edition include:

New monographs for:

  • Livtencity® [maribavir] for cytomegalovirus disease in recipients of haematopoietic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant
  • Lupkynis® [voclosporin] for lupus nephritis
  • Mounjaro® [tirzepatide] for type 2 diabetes mellitus
  • Orgovyx® [relugolix] for prostate cancer
  • Rezurock® [belumosudil] for chronic graft-versus-host disease
  • Tezspire® [tezepelumab] for severe asthma

MHRA advice on:

  • Dupilumab (Dupixent®): risk of ocular adverse reactions and need for prompt management
  • Ibrutinib (Imbruvica®): new risk minimisation measures, including dose modification recommendations, due to the increased risk for serious cardiac events
  • Metolazone (Xaqua®): exercise caution when switching patients between metolazone preparations

Other significant changes include updated guidance on:

  • Specialist drug monographs: inclusion of the words “Specialist drug” alongside the monograph title to identify drugs used within specialist settings (such as drugs used for malignancy, and those given via intravitreal injection). These monographs continue to include information to support patient safety and non-specialist patient care (such as important safety information, interactions, side-effects, and contra-indications) but no longer include information which is within the remit of specialist care (such as doses, and directions for administration).
