The committee was of the opinion that there was a place for ibuprofen outside Schedule 4. Recommendation for a new Schedule 3 entry with pack size restrictions of less than 50 tablets or capsules mg. Schedule 4 entry amended. New Schedule 2 for ibuprofen in divided preparations for oral use containing mg or less with a recommended dose of mg or less. Overall, the committee considered that a Schedule 3 classification was more appropriate for this formulation, and agreed that the Poisons Standard be amended accordingly.
The committee agreed that a maximum daily dose should be stipulated, but because the proposed pack size was mL maximum of 4 g ibuprofen a restriction on total content was not required for this classification.
A new entry for Schedule 3 was agreed in undivided preparations for oral use when labelled with a recommended daily dose of not more than mg of ibuprofen. The committee considered the safety profile of ibuprofen and that Schedule 2 is appropriate when used in analgesic dose for minor and temporary ailments for short periods. The committee was seeking consistency with divided dose formulations. In June , the NDPSC considered a proposal to exempt ibuprofen from scheduling in divided preparations containing mg or less of ibuprofen per dosage unit in packs containing 24 or less dosage units when labelled with a maximum recommended daily dose of mg of ibuprofen.
The NDPSC decided to exempt ibuprofen from scheduling as requested, but with an amended maximum pack size 25 dosage units and additional restrictions as follows: ibuprofen as the only therapeutically active constituent other than an effervescent agent; and requirements for label warnings consistent with Appendix F warnings for Schedule 2 ibuprofen. The minutes note that the NDPSC had agreed that the schedule wording should be comparable with that of the current aspirin and paracetamol entries.
In October , following consideration of further public submissions, the NDPSC made some amendments to the label warning statements required for ibuprofen when exempted from scheduling, in particular, by adding warnings not to use the product unless advised by a doctor in children ages 6 years or less, or by people aged 65 years or over.
The NDPSC recommended, and the delegate confirmed, that the scheduling of ibuprofen and paracetamol that was current at that time remained appropriate. The delegate agreed with the ACMS advice. In February the ACMS considered proposals to reschedule paracetamol mg when combined with ibuprofen mg from Schedule 3 to Schedule 2 in packs containing 12 dosage units or less, and to also include Schedule 3 paracetamol when combined with ibuprofen in Appendix H.
The ACMS recommended that the current scheduling of paracetamol in combination with ibuprofen remained appropriate, and that paracetamol in combination with ibuprofen should not be included in Appendix H. The ACMS also considered that there were no public health benefits with inclusion of the combination in Appendix H, and that advertising could lead to inappropriate use. In June , the ACMS considered a submission to reschedule ibuprofen from Schedule 2 to unscheduled when in divided preparations containing mg or less of ibuprofen in fixed dose combination with 5 mg or less of phenylephrine, in packs containing not more than 25 tablets.
