From 2018, all codeine containing products will be prescription only. This decision is not fully supported by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia. It is hoped that there will still be access to pain relief in a timely manner at an affordable price and the sales will not divert to on line websites who may be selling the codeine containing painkillers in a less controlled manner.
Australia made all codeine products prescription only!

Testimonials
I am glad that I contacted Pharmacy Consulting Limited (PCL). Jackie Peck helped me in understanding all aspects of community and internet pharmacy. She was helpful in conducting survey, preparing business plan and negotiation with wholesalers etc. She was extremely approachable and provided invaluable advice. She was proactive in helping and was very flexible. I will highly recommend Pharmacy Consulting Limited to all especially young entrepreneurs. It is a money well spent.
