Patient's Medication Choice of Brand
 | Pharmacist regulations changed this year. Pharmacists are now permitted to dispense bio-equivalent formulas of medications to patients on a generic basis when the 'Brand Substitution Box" has not been ticked on a prescription. The ATF continue to receive complaints from patients who have been given a different brand that what they usually take and have been prescribed, and it is now becoming a serious problem. |
COVID-19 VACCINATIONS AND THYROID DISEASE
| As each thyroid patient’s diagnosed thyroid disorder is individual, the Australian Thyroid Foundation (ATF) encourage patients to consult their thyroid treating doctor to discuss their thyroid condition and the COVID-19 vaccine and decide together the best outcome. The ATF encourages patients to follow the Department of Health recommendation to protect themselves from contacting COVID-19 in the community, (regular handwashing, mask wearing where appropriate, sanitising and maintaining correct social distance from others). Please also follow the information available on the following Department of Health link regarding COVID-19 Vaccines. |
