THE Pharmaceutical Benefits
Advisory Committee has released
its July recommendations.
These include that all docetaxel
and paclitaxel products be changed
from Authority required to
unrestricted listings.
The Committee also
recommended that the listing of
strontium be amended so that
it was placed in a second line
setting where the patient was
unable to use other osteoporosis
treatments due to contraindication
or intolerance, following the
addition of a black box on product
information (PD 04 Apr), and so
that returning it to a telephone
Authority would be appropriate.
The Committee also
recommended that MS treatment
alemtuzumab be listed as Authority
Required Section 100.
