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.

While you are taking Natrilix SR
Things you must do
Take Natrilix SR exactly as your doctor has prescribed. Otherwise you may not get the benefits from treatment.Tell all doctors, dentists and pharmacists who are involved with your treatment that you are taking Natrilix SR.Make sure you drink enough water during exercise and hot weather especially if you sweat a lot. This will help you avoid any dizziness or light-headedness caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure.Tell your doctor straight away if you have excessive vomiting or diarrhoea while taking Natrilix SR.Things you must not do
Do not give this medicine to anyone else, even they have the same condition as you.Do not use Natrilix SR to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.Do not stop taking Natrilix SR or change the dose, without checking with your doctor.Things to be careful of
Be careful when driving or operating machinery until you know how Natrilix SR affects you.
You may feel light-headed or dizzy when you begin to take Natrilix SR. This is because your blood pressure is falling. Symptoms are likely to be made worse if you drink alcohol or take strong pain killers.
If you have these symptoms when standing up or getting out of bed then getting up more slowly can help. This allows your body to get used to the change in position and blood pressure.
If you have these symptoms and they don't get better in a short time then talk to your doctor
