Asthma council calls for caution with double-length scripts
National Asthma Council Australia is concerned about missed opportunities to step down medication.
Australia’s peak asthma body is urging doctors to be cautious with 60-day dispensing for inhaler medications.
Starting this month, patients with asthma will be able to receive multiple inhalers at each dispensing for more than 70 products, including PBS-listed preventer and combined inhalers.
