We understand that some patients feel anxious or claustrophobic when undergoing radiological procedures such as CT or MRI scans and may ask whether their GP can prescribe a sedative beforehand.
For patient safety reasons, we DO NOT prescribe sedatives for use during CT, MRI or other radiological procedures.
