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
AROPAX - CMI
(SmithKline Beecham)
CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is
in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some of
the common questions about Aropax. It does not
contain all the available information. It does not
take
the place of talking to your doctor or
pharmacist.
Please read this leaflet before
you start taking Aropax. If you are helping
someone else take Aropax, please read this leaflet
before
you give the first dose.
All
medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has
weighed the possible risks of taking Aropax
against the expected benefits.
Keep this
leaflet with the medication. You may want to read
it again.
What Aropax is used for
The name
of your medicine is Aropax; it is also known as
paroxetine.
Aropax belongs to a group of
medicines called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants. They are thought
to
work by their action on brain chemicals
called amines which are involved in controlling
mood.
Depression is longer lasting or more
severe than the 'low moods' that everyone has from
time to time. It is thought to be caused by
a
chemical imbalance in parts of the brain. This
imbalance affects your whole body and can cause
emotional and physical
symptoms. You may feel
low in spirit, lose interest in usual activities,
be unable to enjoy life, have poor appetite or
over eat, have
disturbed sleep, often waking
up early, low energy and feel guilty over nothing.
Aropax corrects the chemical imbalance and so
helps relieve the symptoms of depression.
Aropax may also be used to treat irrational
fears or obsessional behaviour. These can also be
due to chemical imbalance in parts
of the
brain.
Aropax may also be used to treat the
symptoms of panic attacks. When taken regularly it
will help prevent the attacks.
Aropax may
also be used to treat patients who may avoid
and/or are fearful of social situations.
Your doctor may decide that you should
continue to use Aropax for some time, even when
you have overcome your problem. This
should
prevent the problem from returning.
Your
doctor may have prescribed Aropax for another use.
Ask your doctor if you have questions about why
Aropax has been
prescribed for you.
There is no evidence that Aropax is addictive.
Before taking Aropax
Do not take Aropax if:
you have had an allergic reaction to
Aropax or to any of the ingredients listed in the
Ingredients section of this leaflet. Signs of
allergic reaction may include itchy skin rash,
shortness of breath and swelling of the face or
tongue.
you have taken Aropax before and
became unwell, tell your doctor or pharmacist
before taking the first dose.
you are
taking any other medications for the treatment of
depression or have done so in the last 2 weeks.
Taking Aropax with
another antidepressant may
cause a serious reaction. You must not take Aropax
until 2 weeks after stopping monoamine oxidase
inhibitor drugs (MAOIs). Examples of MAOIs are
phenelzine (Nardil) and tranylcypromine (Parnate).
There may be others so
please check with your
doctor. Taking Aropax with a MAOI may cause a
serious reaction.
the expiry date (EXP)
printed on the pack has passed.
the
packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering, or
the tablets do not look quite right.
There
is no specific information available to recommend
the use of Aropax in children.
Do not give
this medicine to anyone else. Your doctor has
prescribed it specifically for you and your
condition.
Before you start taking Aropax
tell your doctor if:
you have had an
allergic reaction to any medicine which you have
taken previously to treat your current condition.
you are pregnant or intend to become
pregnant. Your doctor will discuss with you the
possible risks and benefits of using
Aropax
during pregnancy.
you are breastfeeding,
or wish to breastfeed. Your doctor will discuss
with you the possible risks and benefits of using
Aropax
