What are the benefits of 60-day prescriptions? (short video)

My name is Scott and I'm a virtual Roman and a community pharmacist working between Darwin and Catherine.

The thing about working in a community pharmacy is the relationships.

You really get to know the people here.

So I can see how 60 day prescriptions can benefit a lot of First Nations people here in the community.

For example, I know aunties and uncles who live a few hours out of town.

We have to make special trips to pick up the medication, but if all their medications are on a six day prescription, the need for these trips is halved.

So why not have a yarn to your doctor or health worker to see if a six day prescription is right for you?
