Advice of the amendment to the pricing of METHYLPHENIDATE, Ritalin LA® brand

Please note for Ritalin LA®, that the dispensed price for the maximum quantity of 30 modified release capsules (as methylphenidate hydrochloride), should be $65.41 for 20 mg, $79.21 for 30mg and $83.87 for 40 mg and not $60.53, $72.82 and $87.87 as noted in the Schedule and on the website. The amended price will be effective for all claims from 1 April 2008, and the May 2008 Schedule will reflect the correct price.
