RACGP welcomes asthma puffer decision saving Aussie families time and money
15 May 2023 - The Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) has welcomed the PBAC's decision to remove limitations requiring non-GP specialist prescribing of several asthma medications.
It comes following the RACGP writing to the PBAC Chair Professor Andrew Wilson querying the reasoning behind the original move to place new restrictions on 50 mcg Axotide Junior and Flixotide Junior (fluticasone propionate) so that the drugs could only initially be prescribed by a respiratory specialist with authority approval by Medicare.
