answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Acts 1990 and 2008 do not provide for the regulation of the use or monitoring of medicines used in fertility treatment.</p><p>Medicines used in fertility treatment are licensed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. These medicines may be used in Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority-licensed clinics or in other settings, for example by general practitioners.</p><p>Medicine prescribing is a matter of clinical judgement, taking account of the individual patient’s circumstances and professional guidance. It is the duty of every clinician to take into account the welfare and best interest of their patient when deciding on the appropriate treatment for them for any medical condition, in line with General Medical Council’s good medical practice guidance.</p> more like this
