- 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.

General Information
CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Diprosone OV Cream and Ointment. 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 using Diprosone OV against the benefits they expect it will 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 Diprosone OV is used for
Diprosone OV contains the active ingredient betamethasone dipropionate.
Betamethasone dipropionate is a very strong corticosteroid used to decrease inflammation, redness, itchiness and discomfort of some skin conditions.
Diprosone OV Cream and Ointment are used to treat persistent or severe:
* dermatitis
* eczema
* acute or chronic psoriasis
Your doctor may have prescribed Diprosone OV for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Diprosone OV has been prescribed for you.
This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

How to use Diprosone OV
Apply a thin layer to completely cover the affected area once or twice daily.
It is important to use Diprosone OV exactly as your doctor has told you. If you use it less often than you should, it may not work as well and your skin condition may not improve.
Using it more often than you should may not improve your skin condition faster and may cause or increase side effects.
Do not use Diprosone OV just before having a bath, shower or a swim.
How long to use it
Your doctor will advise you how long to use Diprosone OV. Duration of treatment might take from a few days to a longer period of time.
Do not use Diprosone OV for more than 4 weeks without seeing your doctor.
Do not use Diprosone OV once the skin condition has cleared.
If you forget to use it
If you forget to use Diprosone OV, use it as soon as you remember and then use again at the normal time. Do not apply twice the amount to make up for the application that you missed.
If you swallow it
Telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), or go to casualty at your nearest hospital. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or p
