Prescribing Diazepam for Flight Anxiet

 

< Back to policies & procedures

The doctors at Jubilee Medical Group have reviewed their prescribing practices regarding diazepam and will no longer prescribe it for patients who fear flying.

Diazepam is classified as a Class C/Schedule IV controlled drug in the UK.

Patients are welcome to seek the opinion of a private GP if they still wish to request a prescription for this purpose. We also recommend discussing alternatives that can be purchased over the counter with your pharmacist.
