Many patients living with ongoing health conditions who are stable on their current medicine can receive twice the medication for the cost of a single prescription. Prescribers can make the clinical decision about whether 60‑day prescriptions are appropriate for their patients.
60-day prescriptions were gradually introduced in 3 stages and now apply to almost 300 medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).
The full list of PBS medicines deemed as safe and suitable for 60‑day prescriptions was recommended by the independent Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC).
