Among the many PBS listing
changes effective today are new
prescribing criteria for Vimpat
(lacosamide) tablets for treatment
of epilepsy.
Significant elements of the
changes for Vimpat are the access

at the right time,” said Professor
Mark Cook, Chair of Medicine
and Director of Neurosciences, St
Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne.
