ATTENTION - NEW QUITCARDS FROM 1 SEPTEMBER
The Quitcards that you issue your patients or clients have changed. The main changes are:
- A full programme of eight weeks of NRT will be issued on the one Quitcard
- The pharmacist will dispense 4 weeks of any 8 week supply to start with. The client will need to go back to the same pharmacist to get the other 4 weeks. This won't require a further Quitcard or cost any extra.
- The cost of NRT is reduced to $3 per item, eg:
- 8 weeks of patches/gum/lozenges = $3.00
- 8 weeks of patches + 4 weeks of gum/lozenges (co-therapy) = $6.00
- Quitcards will be valid for 90 days from the date that you issue them.
