Items which should not routinely be prescribed in primary care - bath and shower emollients by all Sub-ICB Locations
Why it matters:
NICE guidance recommends that emollient bath additives should not be offered to children under the age of 12 for the management of atopic eczema, because they are not clinically- or cost-effective.
'Leave-on' emollient moisturisers can still be used for treating eczema. These emollients can also be used as a soap substitute.
It is recognised that this recommendation applies only to children; however, it was agreed that it is acceptable to extrapolate this recommendation to apply to adults until other good quality evidence emerges.
For guidance on when prescribing may be appropriate in some exceptional circumstances, please see the full NHS England guidance document.
