Limits on dispensing and sales of medicines
19 March 2020 - Medicine supplies in Australia are strong however demand for medicines has increased markedly over the past two weeks, resulting in some community pharmacies and wholesalers reporting temporary strain on the supply of some medicines.
This has led to challenges for many Australians seeking to purchase their ordinary and usual medicines in some areas.
As a result of this, the Australian Government, Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia are now requiring community pharmacists to enforce new limits on dispensing and sales of prescription and over-the-counter medicines.
