Medicines Information – Safe Prescribing and Use

At Haus of Ästhetik, we want you to feel confident and informed about any medicines prescribed as part of your treatment.

How we prescribe

• Only qualified and registered healthcare professionals (NMC, GMC, GPhC, or GDC prescribers) can prescribe your medicines.

• Prescribing is based on a full consultation, medical history, and (where required) GP record sharing.

• Remote prescribing (e.g. via video consultation) is only used when it is safe and appropriate.

Licensed and off-label use

• Some medicines, like weight management injections (GLP-1 therapies), are licensed for specific purposes but may also be used “off-label” in line with clinical evidence.

• If your treatment involves off-label use, we will always explain what this means, provide evidence, and record your written consent.

Storage and disposal

• Medicines provided for you to take home (such as weight management injections or vitamin supplements) will include clear instructions on how to store them safely (e.g. refrigeration if required).

• Expired or unused medicines must not be thrown in household waste. You can return them to the clinic or to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.

Your responsibilities

• Always follow the instructions provided by your prescriber.

• Store medicines securely and away from children.

• Report any side effects immediately – we will record them and, if necessary, report them to the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.

• Never share your medicines with anyone else.

Our standards

Our prescribing and medicines management policies follow:

• Human Medicines Regulations 2012

• MHRA guidance (including Yellow Card reporting)

• NICE clinical guidelines

• CQC Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment

This ensures all prescribing is safe, lawful, and evidence-based.
