Codeine will be upscheduled to S4 in 2018

23 Dec 2016 10:07 AM | Anthony Piggott (Administrator)

Codeine containing medicines will only be available on script from 2018. This is a disappointing result from the TGA. From talking with local doctors, many also agree this will create inefficiencies to the health system and inconveniences and expense to the patients. So now someone on warfarin with a bad headache on friday afternoon can be offered a choice of Panamax or Panadol;)
