Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency was responsible for applying for the creation of a medical dictionary for regulatory activities code for post-SSRI sexual dysfunction in 2021.

No, but the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency did have discussions on the underlying data in this area with officials responsible for the medical dictionary for regulatory activities, which resulted in them adding the lower level term “post-SSRI sexual dysfunction” to the regulatory dictionary under sexual dysfunction.
