Generic medicines are an equal choice

On 27 October 2008, National Prescribing Service (NPS) launched its Generic medicines are an equal choice campaign, which aims to provide consumers with independent information so they can make an informed choice when it comes to generic medicines.

This multi-faceted campaign, which is being rolled out over 12 months, is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, includes an integrated series of television commercials, online resources and marketing, in-pharmacy advertising, and a tool kit for community pharmacy staff to support them when discussing generic medicines options with consumers.

It will include a range of community-based activities that will focus on seniors and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
