THE Pharmacy Guild says there are a number of "significant price reductions" on the general, chemotherapy and S100 Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme schedules for Apr 2018.
In an update to members last Fri, Guild president George Tambassis particularly highlighted price cuts of as much as 30% for some Symbicort products, due to the PBS addition of the "a-flagged" generic product DuoResp Spiromax.
Tambassis also noted that Caduet 5/10, 5/20 would be deleted from the PBS effective from 01 May.
The Guild receives advance notice of the changes to help members meet their commercial needs, with the full list of pricing available on a login-protected page on the Guild website at www.guild.org.au.
