Medical cannabis treatment
The use of medical cannabis is regulated by TGA and local government.
Cost
Medical cannabis products are not listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS). Annual treatment costs must be met by the patient or a third party.
Smoking cessation (Nicotine vaping)
From 1 October 2021, consumers require a prescription for all purchases of nicotine vaping products, such as nicotine e-cigarettes, nicotine pods and liquid nicotine. This includes purchases from Australian pharmacies and from overseas. It remains illegal for other Australian retailers, such as tobacconists, ‘vape’ shops and convenience stores, to sell you nicotine vaping products, even if you have a prescription.
Nicotine replacement therapies (including sprays, patches, lozenges, chews and gums) that do not require a prescription will continue to be available from pharmacies and some retail outlets.
Please book your consultation with our doctors to discuss your quitting smoking plan.
If you have a valid prescription from your own doctor, please visit out pharmacy or e-mail your prescription to dispensary@medigreenaustralia.com.au
