Description

1

What is the maximum quantity that can be approved?

The PBS listed quantity is 1. However, an approval for a quantity sufficient for one month’s treatment based on the patient’s weight can be approved. Approval for multiple strengths may be required.

2

Should the calculator on the code sheet be used to determine the correct quantity?

No, the prescriber should be requesting the number of vials required. If a prescriber is not sure about the dosing, call a pharmaceutical adviser.
