Hi Tiffani,

I didn't find out until I went to the GP because I hadn't considered that either.

If you know the company that makes the drugs (usually on the packet) check out if they have a website in Oz and ask them the question. Then at least you'll know that the medication exists even if it's not the generic form. That's what I ended up doing to make sure that the medication wasn't available in Oz.

The company responded that if I really wanted that medication a GP in Oz can still write a prescription and the medication can be bought overseas and then shipped in but I decided it wasn't worth the cost.

Regards,
Karen
