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.

Highly recommended
Informed my surgeon that I was constipated for a few days after my last surgery. She prescribed this and I have to say I'm impressed. Within 5 hours I had bowel movement. It's thick and sweet so drink it slowly and have water afterwards. It can also be used by kids too which is a bonus but please ensure you read instructions prior to use.

it works
Well next time I will take less than 30ml. But it works, especially if you don't want to muck around waiting for natural lax like senna to kick in.

Gentle Softening Laxative
Works for me. Without causing diahorrea that some other options might cause. Can use 10ml each day, or 20-30mls when need some softening.
