MULTIPLE PACKS
Dispensing multiple packs or multiple repeats of prescription medication
- 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.

What Keflex is used for
The name of your medicine is Keflex. It contains the active ingredient cephalexin monohydrate.
Keflex belongs to a group of medicines called cephalosporins. These antibiotics work by killing the bacteria that are causing your
infection.
Keflex is used to treat infections in different parts of the body caused by bacteria. Keflex can be used to treat infections of the:
respiratory tract (throat, tonsils, chest and lungs)
nose (sinusitis)
ears (otitis media)
skin
kidneys and bladder (genitourinary tract).
Your doctor may have prescribed Keflex for another reason.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about why Keflex has been prescribed for you.
Before taking Keflex
You should tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions or if you have ever experienced any of these conditions.
It is very important that your doctor is aware of these matters when determining whether or not to prescribe Keflex.
When you must NOT take Keflex
Do NOT take Keflex
if you have had an allergic reaction to Keflex, other cephalosporins or any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet (see

or face.
if you have had a serious allergic reaction to penicillin.
if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering.
if the expiry date on the pack has passed. If you take this medicine after the expiry date has passed it may not work as well.
Before you start to take Keflex
You must tell your doctor
if you have had any type of allergic reaction to penicillin medicines. You may have an increased chance of being allergic to
Keflex if you are allergic to penicillins.
if you are taking any other medicines including any that you have bought from a pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop.
Some medicines may affect the way other medicines work. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to tell you what to do when
taking Keflex with other medicines.
if you have any allergies to any other substances such as foods, preservatives or dyes.
