the document states.
Your pharmacist will be able
to provide advice on the most
appropriate medicines for you...
speaking with your pharmacist is
particularly important if you have
any other medical conditions such
as stomach, kidney, liver or heart
problems, the TGA advises.
Doctors also have a role to play,
with people experiencing ongoing
pain urged to speak to their GP
to determine better alternative
treatment options such as other
OTC or prescription medicines or
non-medicine therapies from an
allied health professional.
The TGA has confirmed
the establishment of the
Nationally Coordinated Codeine
Implementation Working Group
(NCCIWG) including representatives
from state and territory health
departments and peak bodies
representing consumers,
pharmacists and medical
professionals.
The NCCIWGs purpose is to
assist with the implementation of
a communication and engagement
strategy to help inform the
community of the upcoming
changes to the availability of low-
dose codeine containing medicines
from 1 February 2018.
