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.

CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Trifeme.
It does not contain all the available information.
It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Trifeme against the benefits this medicine
is expected to have for you.
If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this leaflet with the medicine.
You may need to read it again.
What Trifeme is used for
Trifeme is an oral contraceptive. Oral contraceptives are commonly known as 'the Pill'. Trifeme pills contain two active ingredients
(levonorgestrel and ethinyloestradiol), which can stop you from becoming pregnant if taken correctly. They are similar to hormones
your body normally produces.
Levonorgestrel is a progestogen. It changes the mucus in the vaginal passages, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Levonorgestrel may also change the lining of the womb, making it less likely for a fertilised egg to implant.
Ethinyloestradiol is an estrogen, similar to the estrogen produced in your body in varying amounts during each monthly cycle.
Taking a small amount of ethinyloestradiol every day prevents eggs from growing and being released ready for pregnancy.
Your doctor may have prescribed Trifeme for another reason. In some women, irregular, very painful or heavy periods may lead to
iron loss and anaemia. Trifeme can normalise these periods. There are other benefits from long-term use.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Trifeme has been prescribed for you.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.
Trifeme is not addictive.
Trifeme will not protect you from HIV-AIDS or any other sexually transmitted diseases.
