- 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.

Consumer Medicine Information
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about Tetrabenazine Tablets. It does not contain all of the available information. Reading this leaflet 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 your taking Tetrabenazine Tablets against the benefits they expect it will have for you. If you have any concerns about taking Tetrabenazine Tablets, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this leaflet with the medicine. You may want to read it again.
What Tetrabenazine Tablets are used for
Tetrabenazine is used for the treatment of diseases, which cause jerky, irregular, uncontrollable movements such as Huntington's chorea, senile chorea and hemiballismus.
Tetrabenazine affects some chemicals in the brain, and by doing so it helps to control jerky and irregular movements.
Your doctor may have prescribed Tetrabenazine Tablets for another use. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Tetrabenazine Tablets have been prescribed for you.
Tetrabenazine Tablets are not addictive.
Tetrabenazine Tablets are only available on a doctor's prescription.

You are being treated for Parkinson's disease.
You are being treated for depression.
You are taking central nervous system stimulants or depressants (including alcohol).
These warnings are extremely important as using more than one medicine at the same time can increase or reduce the effect of the medicines. For example, this medicine can increase the effect of some medicines for lowering high blood pressure or for depression (monoamine oxidase inhibitors).
