Changes to PBS listing of methadone oral liquid, effective date 1 July 2023
01 Jul 2023
The Department of Health and Aged Care is making changes to the listing of the below-mentioned product on the PBS to allow pharmacists to dispense volumes smaller than a whole bottle at PBS subsidised prices:
- oral liquid containing methadone hydrochloride 25 mg per 5 mL, 200 mL
The changes being implemented mirror those made to the listing of oral solution containing hydromorphone hydrochloride 1 mg per mL, 1 mL on 1 August 2022 following consultation with key stakeholders representing prescribers, pharmacists, pharmacy dispensing software, electronic Schedule 8 drug registers and state and territory health authorities. Similar changes were also made to the listings of morphine and oxycodone oral solutions on 1 February 2023
