Asthma patients benefit from new 60-day prescription option
Clinton is joined by Anthony Flynn, Director of Health Knowledge & Translation at Asthma Australia, to discuss the changes that took effect on 1 September 2024, when over 70 asthma inhalers were added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) with a 60-day prescription option.

Prescribers now have the discretion to choose between 30 or 60-day prescriptions based on their professional judgement.
