Online Version

 

If you have used the BNF legacy online version, which includes section numbers, a section number may be used instead of a page number.

The latest online version of the BNF has been reorganised to give it a "drug-centric and treatment-centric structure". It does NOT contain section or page numbers so these may be omitted. If you wish to draw attention to a particular area of the BNF online you may mention that area by name in your text. Alternatively you may reference a particular section as follows:
