Pharmaceutical Excipients: Properties, Functionality and Applications in Research and Industry (2017) The interactions are displaying correctly when the interactions information is accessed directly via links from the Interactions section of the co-drug monographs in BNF and BNF for Children. From June 2023, BNF Publications will be more clearly and consistently identifying specialist drug monographs within content, by including the words “Specialist drug” alongside the monograph title. This feature will be applied to existing monographs, and to monographs moving forward, that are used within specialist settings (such as drugs used for malignancy, and those given via intravitreal injection). These “specialist drug” monographs will contain less detail than a regular monograph within BNF Publications. A “specialist drug” monograph will 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 it will not contain information which is within the remit of specialist care (such as doses, and directions for administration). Based on the primary use case of BNF Publications, supporting non-specialist clinical practice, the preface of the BNF sets out that less detail is given for specialist areas such as malignant disease. However, there has been no consistent style used within BNF monographs to highlight to users that a drug is used in these specialist areas.

Over the last year, we have undertaken research to understand how we could ensure that specialist drug content in BNF Publications is aligned with the stated scope within the preface, and with the primary use case of the BNF. Analytics around the use of BNF Publications’ content confirmed that specialist drug content is accessed much less frequently than drug content for non-specialist use. User research supported the analytics, and showed that those users who did access specialist content were most commonly looking at safety information, such as contra-indications, interactions, and side-effects.
