18 October 2017 - Chemists are putting profits ahead of patient safety as they try to fight new rules that will make Panadeine and Nurofen Plus prescription only, doctors claim.
The powerful Pharmacy Guild of Australia has rejected claims by the nation’s peak GP group that it is trying to buy a change in the policy through $340,000 in donations to political parties.
And five expert health groups have written to state health ministers pleading with them to reject the Guild’s bid to change the policy.
