- 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.
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.
