MULTIPLE PACKS
Dispensing multiple packs or multiple repeats of prescription medication
- As pharmacists we must always comply explicitly with your doctors prescribed directions this includes the quantity of the prescription goods to be supplied. Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you.
AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION
- Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
But still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.

Works as expected, recommended for all. :-)
Product works quickly for those with a bad diarrhoea problem. This has literally put a stop to my annoying troubles within 6-8 hours of taking the 3rd tablet in the time frame mentioned. I still had to go a couple times upon the first 2 tabs and thought ‘this isn’t working’, due to how the body was feeling with the uneasiness, but once bedtime hit, I felt more relaxed, and by next morning was much happier. I recommend this item to all, just don’t ‘eat like lollies’ people, as the tabs are working, even when you think they’re not. :-)
A great product to have on hand for when this issue comes up again.
