Customer Update:

Codeine Upscheduling 1 February 2018

From 1 February 2018, codeine-containing products will no longer be available as an over-the-counter medicines in pharmacies. They will be upscheduled to a prescription only medicine in Australia.

This upscheduling affects common products such as pain killers and cold & flu medications, such as: l l l l l l

Panadeine®, Panadeine Extra®, Mersyndol® Nurofen Plus®, Panafen Plus® Aspalgin®, Codis®, Dispirin Forte® Codral Original Cold & Flu® Demazin Day & Night Cold & Flu® Equivalent generic products

The government’s decision for this upscheduling was taken as there are safer and more effective options available for most patients. Codeine has been associated with harmful effects, and its combination with other ingredients in various common overthe-counter products particularly if used for longer periods of time, can lead to serious long-term damage.

You should feel confident that your health professional is there to support you in managing your symptoms. Pharmacists can provide advice and may recommend an alternative treatment available overthe-counter, or to seek medical advice if required. So talk to your pharmacist about the options available.

If you’d like more information on the regulation changes, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has a codeine information hub which is publicly available for you to access online, at www.tga.gov.au

However, sometimes medicines can mask the symptoms of a worsening infection, for example, thus making it difficult to identify when to refer for medical advice.

It is therefore important that you seek the pharmacist for advice regarding medications available over-the-counter at the pharmacy, as they may not all be suitable for use.

Vitamin B vitamins play a major role in the central nervous system.

Taking a Vitamin B supplement may help with stress levels whilst quitting smoking and are thus recommended to use during the first four week period when you may be feeling challenged. B group vitamins are water soluble, so are not stored in the body and daily intake is necessary.

Save $5.04

Have you been wanting to quit smoking for some time but keep putting it off?

The new year is the perfect time to take that first step.

Making the choice to stop smoking is a great first step but sticking to it can be challenging.

If you have quit multiple times before, it is best to look at each of those quit attempts as practice rounds, not setbacks.

Quitting at any age will greatly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer, so the earlier you quit the greater the health benefits!

If you are thinking about quitting, currently trying to quit or just don’t know where to start on your quit smoking journey, ask our pharmacist for a personalised quit smoking plan.
