To help you get to grips with the impact of the changes made to category M reimbursement prices, C+D has teamed up with Actavis to bring you the Category M Barometer.

Every three months we will calculate the volume weighted prices of all products in category M from the Department of Health's latest figures. This generates an index of prices that shows how the figures have changed since the scheme's inception in April 2005.

We'll highlight what's up, what's down and our resident statistician - Generic Eric - will be on hand to explain how the changes impact on your business.

If you have any comments or questions about Category M then email us at
