- 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.

Information
Ostelin Calcium & Vitamin D3
Want strong bones?
Ostelin Calcium & Vitamin D3 is a combination supplement with naturally occurring calcium and vitamin D3 for strong bones.
Each tablet contains Calcium (from Calcium Carbonate) 600mg and Vitamin D3 500IU (Colecalciferol 12.5 micrograms).
Calcium is essential throughout life to build and maintain bone strength, as it increases bone mineral density, while Vitamin D is key for calcium absorption and maintaining bone and muscle strength.
The human body cannot produce calcium, therefore we have to ensure we get enough calcium through our diet to meet our daily requirement.
Find out more information about calcium rich food sources below.
Did you know?
73% of Australian women don't get enough calcium through diet alone.¹
Calcium rich food sources
Milk based
Milk: provides a rich and absorbable source of calcium with 1 cup containing approximately 300mg of calcium.²
Cheese: 60g portions of feta, cheddar and brie provide approximately 270mg of calcium, 480mg of calcium and 240mg of calcium respectively.4
Yoghurt: A 200g tub of yoghurt provides roughly 300mg of calcium.²
Marine based
Sardines and salmon (with soft edible bones) should be included in a healthy diet for good bones. ½ cup of canned salmon delivers approximately 400mg of calcium.²
Bean & legume based
Tofu: ½ cup of tofu provides around 430mg of calcium.³
Beans: ½ cup of white beans contains 81mg of calcium and ½ cup of red kidney beans contains 25mg of calcium.³ Beans also contain phytic acid, a component that can reduce how much of the calcium is absorbed into the body. For this reason, you may need to consume more of this food to meet your calcium requirements.³
Vegetable based
Cooked bok choy: ½ cup serve contains approx. 79mg of calcium.³
Cooked broccoli: 1 cup delivers approx. 45mg of calcium, 50-60% of which should be absorbed.²
Cooked kale: ½ cup supplies 47mg of calcium.³
Raw watercress: 120g (a medium bunch) contains about 188mg of calcium.4
Bone health across life stages
Infancy
For infants, the most important factor in the development of a potential vitamin D insufficiency is their mother's vitamin D status. Generally, breast milk is low in vitamin D.
Infants who are breast-fed and dark-skinned may require vitamin D supplementation to maintain adequate vitamin D nutrition.
Children & Adolescents
Calcium is essential in youth and throughout life to maximise and strengthen bones. It increases bone mineral density and assists normal healthy bone development in teenagers.
Bone mass increases about seven-fold from birth to puberty, and half of a person's bone mass is accumulated during adolescence.
Adults
Sufficient dietary calcium is needed to maintain bone mass.
Up until around the age of 30, the body creates bone faster than it is broken down. After age 30, this balance changes and more bone is lost than is gained.
Elderly
During menopause there is a decline in calcium absorption and increase in calcium loss. Aging affects Vitamin D synthesis in the skin.
Adequate intake of dietary calcium is critical in reducing the rate of bone loss associated with aging and may assist in the prevention of osteoporosis.
