Pharmaceutical Schedule
About the Schedule
The New Zealand Pharmaceutical Schedule (the "Schedule") is a list of the approximately 2000 prescription medicines and therapeutic products subsidised by the Government. The Schedule is published three times a year and updated monthly on this website.
The printed Schedule is distributed free to about 11,000 medical practitioners, pharmacists, medical libraries, professional bodies and support groups, and can also be requested by other users, including pharmaceutical suppliers and the general public.
