From 2018, all codeine containing products will be prescription only. This decision is not fully supported by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia.

Australia made all codeine products prescription only!

Dawn ran a very informative session about GDP guidance and the role of the Responsible Person. This helped me understand further about my role as the Responsible Person and how to stay 100% compliant according to the guidelines. I also picked up key points on what to look for when looking at potential suppliers and warehouse facilities. All together an excellent session, worth every penny! Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Client
