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.

What is Microgynon 20 ED used for and how does it work?
Microgynon 20 ED is an oral contraceptive, commonly known as a "Birth Control Pill" or "The Pill" that has been prescribed to
prevent you from getting pregnant. Microgynon 20 ED prevents pregnancy in several ways:-
inhibiting the egg release by stopping it maturing changing the cervical mucus consistency making it difficult for the sperm to
reach the egg
changing the lining of the uterus making it less suitable for implantation.
When taken as directed Microgynon 20 ED is very effective at preventing pregnancy.
Your doctor may have prescribed Microgynon 20 ED for another purpose. Microgynon 20 ED can normalise periods which are
irregular or very painful or heavy, leading to iron loss and anaemia.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions why Microgynon 20 has been prescribed for you.
Microgynon 20 pills are not addictive.
