How will the new changes to medication prescription and pharmacy dispensing in Australia affect you?
This means you could walk away from the pharmacy with 60 days worth of your usual medicine from a single prescription.
But not all medicines are yet eligible for 60-day scripts and not everyone is prescribed 60 days worth of medicine at a time. Here’s what the changes mean for you.If you have a current prescription, you need to use this prescription first before you get a new one. To be eligible for a prescription that provides medicine for 60 days your medication needs to be on the approved list.
When fully implemented, these changes will affect more than 300 prescription medicines available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme .These medicines have been chosen because they are appropriate treatments for people living with stable, chronic health conditions, they meet clinical safety criteria and are considered cost-effective.
