11.01.2022 No one likes sweltering in the summer heat, and neither do your medicines. Extreme heat and exposure to light can cause your medicines to physically change. Check your medicine label to ensure you’re storing your medicines correctly. https://www.tga.gov.au/whats-my-medicine-label

07.01.2022 Changes to the wording on your prescription from February 1. ‘Active ingredient prescribing’ becomes the norm. So you might see a script or repeat with wording that says ‘esomeprazole’ instead of Nexium, ‘atenolol’ instead of Tenormin, or ‘paracetamol’ instead of Panamax. Active ingredient is another word for generic ingredient. It’s the name of the actual medicine in your prescription. ... This change reduces the chance of errors and mis-communication between episodes of care, between doctors, pharmacists, nurses, hospitals and other health care providers. It’s important to note that the product you are supplied with won’t change; in most cases brand choice rests with you, the patient. For more information, ask your pharmacist or have a quick look at the government’s guide here: https://www.nps.org.au//active-ingredient-prescribing-all-
