Rescheduling of ketamine

November 23, 2015 By Jo-VetNI

Please see most recent post on this topic . . . this one has been superseded by NEW ADVICE from VMD.  We have been asked by VMD to remind you all that the rescheduling of ketamine to Schedule 2 takes effect from 30 November 2015. In due course, information should appear on the DHSSP (www.dhsspsni.gov.uk) website regarding this, at which point, please make your own investigations at to see exactly how changes will affect you. My (layman’s) understanding is that in a nutshell, each bottle needs its own register (a bound book); stock must be locked in a non-portable container and of course there are strict guidelines re. disposal of product and syringe wastage. This is applicable to each and every bottle so if you keep stocks in your vehicle, please ensure that you comply, especially re. non-portable container.  We have been promised a FAQ sheet from VMD on this subject and will make this available via this website as soon as we have it.
