PHARMACISTS in NSW are being urged to contact the police if they receive prescriptions purportedly from two nonexistent medical centres.
In a message distributed yesterday, the NSW Ministry of Health said it had become aware of a number of websites that were providing forged prescriptions for Schedule 8 (S8) medications.
The notice warned the sites feature the names and contact details of the prescribers whose names appear on the forged scripts.
However, the Pharmaceutical Regulation Unit confirmed the My Choice Medical Centre at Suite 103, 135 Macquarie Street, Sydney, and the Wellington Road Medical Practice, Level 1/46 Wellington Road, South Granville, did not exist.
Pharmacists were also warned not to dispense scripts where the contact numbers 02 8006 5051 or 02 8091 4544 were listed.
