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.

General Information
Consumer Medicine InformationWhat is in this leaflet?Please read this leaflet carefully before you give AMOXIL to your child.This leaflet answers some common questions about AMOXIL. It does not contain all of the available information.It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.All medicines have risks and benefits. Sometimes new risks are found even when a medicine has been used for many years. Your doctor has weighed the expected benefits of your child taking AMOXIL against the risks this medicine could have for your child.AMOXIL must be given to your child as instructed. If you have any concerns about this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Keep this leaflet with the medicine.You may need to read it again.What is AMOXIL used for?AMOXIL contains a penicillin called amoxycillin as the active ingredient.Amoxycillin belongs to the penicillin group of antibiotics.AMOXIL is used to treat a range of infections caused by bacteria. Thesemay be infections of the chest (pneumonia), tonsils (tonsillitis), sinuses (sinusitis), inner ear (otitis media) urinary and genital tract or skin and fleshy tissues.AMOXIL works by killing the bacteria that cause these infections. AMOXIL can also be used to prevent infection.Your doctor may have prescribed AMOXIL for another reason.There is no evidence that AMOXIL is addictive.Before you give AMOXILDo not give AMOXIL if:
your child is allergic to penicillin or similar types of antibiotics such as cephalosporins. If your child has ever had an allergic reaction (such as a rash) when taking an antibiotic, tell the doctor before any AMOXIL is given.
your child has ever had an allergic reaction to amoxycillin or any of the ingredients listed toward the end of this leaflet. (See "Ingredients")
the expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack has passed.
the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering
Tell your doctor if:
your child has ever had an allergic reaction (such as a rash) to any antibiotics in the past.
your child has glandular fever (mononucleosis) or a blood disorder.
your child has liver or kidney problems. The dosage of AMOXIL may need to be changed or your child may need to be given an alternative medicine.
Your child is allergic to foods, dyes, preservatives or any other medicines.
Your child is taking any other medicines, including medicines you buy without a prescription. In particular tell the doctor if your child is taking any of the following:
- probenecid or allopurinol.
- other antibiotics.
- anticoagulants (used to prevent blood clots) such as warfarin).
These may interfere with the actions of AMOXIL.
Some medicines may affect the way other medicines work. The doctor or pharmacist will be able to tell you which medicines are safe to take with AMOXIL.If you have not told the doctor about any of these things, tell them before you give your child any AMOXIL.
How to give AMOXIL to your childFollow the doctor's instructions about how and when to give AMOXIL. The doctor will advise how many doses are needed each day, and for how long your child will need to take AMOXIL.Please read the direction label carefully. If you have any concerns about how to give AMOXIL, talk to the doctor or pharmacist.How much AMOXIL to give:
Give AMOXIL as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.The usual dose of AMOXIL is one dose taken three times a day. The dose may vary depending on your child's weight.How to give AMOXIL:
Shake the syrup well before measuring out the dose in a suitable measure. The dose of AMOXIL Paediatric Drops is drawn up and given using the dropper provided with the medicine. Make sure the whole dose is swallowed each time.Space the doses as evenly as possible throughout the day. For example, if your child is taking AMOXIL three times a day, give a dose about every eight hours.AMOXIL can be given with or without food. The effects of AMOXIL are not changed by food.How long to give AMOXIL for:
Keep giving AMOXIL to your child until the course is finished or for as long as the doctor tells you. Do not stop giving AMOXIL just because your child feels better as the infection can return.Do not stop giving AMOXIL to your child, or change the dose without first checking with your doctor.If you forget to give AMOXIL:
If you forget to give a dose of AMOXIL, give it as soon as you remember. Then go back to giving it as directed by the doctor.Do not give a double dose to make up for the dose that has been missed. Do not give two doses within an hour or so of each other. Giving more than the prescribed dose can increase the chance of unwanted side effects.What do I do if I give too much AMOXIL? (Overdose)If your child (or someone else) has taken a large amount of AMOXIL all at once, give plenty of water to drink, and immediately telephone your doctor or Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26) for advice, if you think you or anyone else may have taken too much AMOXIL, even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
If you are not sure what to do, contact your doctor, pharmacist or nearest hospital.While you are giving AMOXIL to your childThings you must do:
Tell your doctor if, for any reason, you have not given the medicine exactly as directed.
Otherwise, your doctor may think that it was not working as it should and change your child's treatment unnecessarily.Tell the doctor or pharmacist your child is taking AMOXIL before giving any other prescribed medicine. Some medicines may affect the way other medicines work.If your child develops itching, swelling or a skin rash while taking AMOXIL, do not give any more AMOXIL and tell the doctor at once.If your child develops severe diarrhoea while taking AMOXIL tell the doctor as soon as possible. Do not give any medication to stop the diarrhoea (eg. Lomotil or Imodium).Things you must not do:
Do not give this medicine to anyone else, even if their symptoms seem similar to your child's.Do not use AMOXIL to treat any other complaints unless your doctor says to.What are the side-effects?Check with your doctor as soon as possible if you think your child is experiencing any side effects or allergic reactions due to taking AMOXIL, even if the problem is not listed below.Like other medicines, AMOXIL can cause some side-effects.
