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. Schedule information on this website is updated monthly.

The printed Schedule is distributed free to about 11,000 medical practitioners, pharmacists, medical libraries, professional bodies and support groups, and is offered for sale on a subscription list to other users, including pharmaceutical suppliers.
