Help stop Pharmac from dangerous drug subtitutions!!
PLEASE SIGN & SHARE EVERYONE - THIS AFFECTS EVERY NEW ZEALANDER PRESCRIBED ANY KIND OF MEDICATION
Do you think it's OK to change someone's psychiatric drugs, not tell their doctors, and tell the patient it is not possible for them to have adverse side effects because the drugs are 'the same'. While full knowing a percentage will have serious side effects such as anxiety, rage, increased depression, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues - the list goes on - side effects which have led to losing jobs, breaking up relationships, self harm and suicide. This is what Pharmac has done, and they are taking NO responsibility for those that have been harmed through their decisions and IRRESPONSIBLE roll out of generic psychiatric medication. They just brush it off saying its the 'nocebo' effect (which, even if its true, does not excuse the harm knowingly caused). They tell us we can apply for special funding for the old meds (ALL the applications have been turned down). They need to be held accountable.
They will soon be doing this with an antiseizure epileptic drug that could have dire consequences not only for the patient but to society at large as well. e.g. someone having a seizure while driving!!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated
