Can my GP refuse to prescribe?
A general practitioner has the authority to decline the medication prescription if it is determined that such action would not serve the patient's best interests or is deemed inappropriate for the individual's medical condition. This determination may consider various factors, including the patient's medical history, contraindications, or the absence of a definitive diagnosis. General practitioners are responsible for ensuring that all prescribed medications are safe, effective, and aligned with the needs of the patient. When a general practitioner refuses to prescribe medication, they may propose alternative treatment options or recommend that the patient seek further evaluation from a specialist.Also read: How eScripts work in Australia: A patient’s guide
