NSW Prescribers
Alternative therapeutics can be prescribed via an Authorised Prescriber (AP), the Special Access Scheme (SAS), or as a compounded product.
The AP pathway is medical professionals that are approved to prescribe unapproved therapeutic goods for a specific case or condition of patients in their immediate care without needing the TGA’s approval.
The SAS is a pathway which allows certain medical professionals to prescribe therapeutic goods that are not registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) for a single patient.
Compounded products can bypass the TGA approval process which allows the medical professional to prescribe any product formulation for a patient, however prescribers and pharmacists should check their state requirements before prescribing and dispensing compounded alternative therapeutics.
Doctors in Australia can start prescribing alternative therapeutics to patients easily with Canview.
By registering a Canview account, prescribers can search an filter by product forms, conditions, effects, and pricing to select the most suitable products for their patient, during or after a consultation.
