THE TGA’s Advisory Committee
on Medicines Scheduling has
confirmed changes to the S2 and

interim decision on combination
products in view of the dosage
levels of paracetamol and
ibuprofen, considering it is more
appropriate to limit the S2 entry
to 12 dosage units per pack, rather

The S3 listing for paracetamol
combined with ibuprofen will apply
to a primary pack containing 30
dosage units or less.
