Active ingredient prescribing (AIP)

CONSIDERATIONS WHEN PRESCRIBING LUCRIN

  • New Australian medicine regulations mean that from 1 February 2021, some prescriptions must include the active ingredient11
  • Lucrin Depot PDS has been included in the Government produced ‘List of Medicines for Brand Consideration’12
  • This list includes medicines prescribers should consider prescribing by brand as well as active ingredient, if clinically necessary for the treatment of their patient12
  • Handwritten scripts are not impacted by AIP11

You can still choose LUCRIN.


 

  • Clinical software systems will now have been updated to alert prescribers when a prescribed medicine is on the Government ‘List of Medicines for Brand Consideration11
  •  Where you’ve made the clinical decision to treat with LUCRIN, simply complete these three steps to ensure it is dispensed 11,12
 

Each software provider has developed their own solution to accommodate AIP. Refer to instructions provided by the software provider for specific workflow. Some practices/institutions may require you to request manual override for all options to be available.  Please note, handwritten scripts are exempt from AIP requirements as per Australian Government policy only. Individual institutions may have different requirements.
