Concerns from New Zealand doctors regarding Xenical reclassification are unfounded
Auckland, 29th April 2004 – Xenical remains a prescription only medicine in New Zealand, however an application has been made to the Medicines Classification Committee (MCC) seeking reclassification of Xenical from a prescription medicine to a pharmacist-only-medicine. The MCC will review the application at its next meeting in May 2004.
Pharmacist-only-medicines are available under the
professional care of pharmacists, ‘behind the counter’
rather than on the ‘open’ shelves. Pharmacists are fully
trained and qualified health professionals who regularly
offer guidance and advice on a range of health issues
ensuring that medicines are used responsibly and
appropriately.
