The Pentasa Support Programme (PSP) is a service provided by Ferring to help patients get the most out of taking their mesalazine and in managing their ulcerative colitis.
Any patient who receives a prescription for Pentasa (Pentasa PI July 2014) is eligible to be registered with the PSP. Any member of staff who the Responsible Pharmacist decides is competent can deliver this service. If a patient presents with a prescription for Pentasa a member of staff should explain that PSP is a free service that offers support to:
- enable them to get the most from their treatment; and
- help them with lifestyle changes that will make managing their disease easier.
To access the support the patient will need to consent to information (name, address, etc) being shared to allow for administration of the scheme. Verbal consent can be obtained over the telephone for patients who get their prescription delivered.
