- As pharmacists we must always comply explicitly with your doctors prescribed directions this includes the quantity of the prescription goods to be supplied. Therefore the only time we can supply an increased quantity of a prescribed medicine is if the doctor prescribes that quantity for you.
AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION
- Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS.
Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health.
Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).
Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.
But still pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has the necessary Authority code.

LOSEC TABLETS - CMI
(AstraZeneca)
CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
Multiple Unit Pellet System
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some of the common questions people ask about Losec Tablets. It does not contain all the information that is
known about Losec Tablets.
It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor will have weighed the risks of you taking Losec Tablets against the benefits
they expect it will have for you.
If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this leaflet with the medicine. You may need to read it again.
What Losec Tablets are used for
Peptic Ulcers
Losec Tablets are used to treat peptic ulcers. Depending on the position of the ulcer it is called a gastric or duodenal ulcer.
A gastric ulcer occurs in the stomach. A duodenal ulcer occurs in the duodenum which is the tube leading out from the stomach.
These ulcers can be caused by too much acid being made in the stomach.
Losec Tablets are also used to help stop gastric or duodenal ulcers coming back.
Peptic Ulcers Associated with Helicobacter pylori Infection
Most people who have a peptic ulcer also have a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori in their stomach. When Losec Tablets are
taken with antibiotics, they will kill Helicobacter pylori and let your peptic ulcer heal. When Losec Tablets are taken together with
two antibiotics, they are more effective than taken one or two at a time. It is possible that the antibiotics may not always kill
Helicobacter pylori.
Peptic Ulcers Associated with Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
Some peptic ulcers are caused by taking medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medicines are commonly
taken to treat joint disease or arthritis. Losec Tablets are also used to heal and prevent ulcers associated with NSAIDs.
Reflux Oesophagitis
Losec Tablets are used to treat the symptoms of reflux oesophagitis or reflux disease. This can be caused by "washing back"
(reflux) of food and acid from the stomach into the food pipe (oesophagus).
Reflux can cause a burning sensation in the chest rising up to the throat, also known as heartburn.
Losec Tablets are also used to help stop reflux oesophagitis coming back or relapsing.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
Losec Tablets are also used to treat a rare condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, where the stomach produces large
amounts of acid, much more than in ulcers or reflux disease.
How Losec Tablets work
Losec Tablets are a type of medicine called a proton-pump inhibitor.
Losec Tablets work by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach, to give relief of symptoms and allow healing to take
place. This does not stop food being digested in the normal way.
Your doctor will have explained why you are being treated with Losec Tablets and told you what dose to take.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor carefully. They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
Your doctor may prescribe this medicine for another use. Ask your doctor if you want more information.
There is no evidence that Losec Tablets are addictive.
