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.

How it is used
KONAKION MM Paediatric can be used as an injection or as a liquid for the baby to swallow.
Usually, a doctor or nurse will give an injection into a muscle.
If it is given as a liquid into the baby's mouth, then the oral dispenser or another accurate measuring device should be used. After the liquid is placed in the baby's mouth, it is best to follow the dose with a feed, to ensure it is swallowed.
In the rare case that your baby already has a bleeding condition, then it may be given as an injection into a vein.
How long Konakion MM Paediatric is given for
Your doctor will usually prescribe one injection in the muscle or a number of doses given by mouth.
The length of therapy will vary according to whether your baby is breast-fed, on milk formula or if they are at particular risk of haemorrhagic disease.
If your baby is given KONAKION MM Paediatric orally, make sure they receive every dose as prescribed.
It is important that your baby receives every dose. If every dose is not given to your baby, KONAKION MM Paediatric may not work as well to prevent this disease.
In case of an overdose
Immediately telephone your doctor, or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), or go to Accident and Emergency at your nearest hospital, if you think your baby or anyone else may have taken too much KONAKION MM Paediatric. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
You may need urgent medical attention.
Keep telephone numbers for these places handy.
If you are not sure what to do, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
