We apologise to anyone who tried to phone us yesterday afternoon, something is wrong with our phone. It’s diverted now to a mobile till we figure out the problem 😞

Diltiazem 360mg is being discontinued, if you currently take this medication, please make an appointment with your doctor to discuss getting a prescription for 180mg (take 2 capsules instead of 1)
Until October 2027 if a pharmacy does not have any stock of the 360mg they have permission from the TGA to swap your script to the 180mg.

🛑 Discontinuation of diltiazem 360 mg controlled-release capsules – substitutions are available 🛑

Pharmaceutical company Sanofi-Aventis Australia has told us that their 2 brands of diltiazem 360 mg controlled-release capsules are being discontinued in Australia due to manufacturing issues:

• Cardizem CD 360 mg became unavailable in June 2026.
• Vasocardol CD 360 mg will no longer be supplied in Australia from 1 November 2026, with reduced supply expected until stock is exhausted.

Diltiazem 180 mg and 240 mg controlled-release capsules and 60 mg immediate-release tablets remain available.

We have made a Serious Scarcity Substitution Instrument (SSSI) available that allows pharmacists to dispense diltiazem 180 mg controlled-release capsules in place of diltiazem 360 mg controlled-release capsules without a new prescription. The SSSI is active until 1 October 2027.

Controlled-release diltiazem capsules are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. They are also indicated for the management of chronic stable angina (effort-associated angina) where there is no evidence of vasospastic or unstable angina.

Boyup Brook Volunteers WhatsApp Group
I have been contemplating a volunteer WhatsApp Group for a while & after attending Peter Kenyons amazing sessions, I have decided to make it happen.
The driving inspiration I have for wanting a group of volunteers is that we regularly have patients needing transport to medical appointments out of town such as Bridgetown, Bunbury, Busselton, Perth, it can be very stressful for them trying to find a way to get a ride.
Some end up cancelling appointments because they can’t find someone to take them, some just don’t bother booking specialist appointments even though they are advised to.
But this is just the beginning, think of locals who end up in hospital suddenly & have pets at home that need care or a rubbish bin that needs taking out. Think of locals who are sick and can’t get to the shops. Think of locals who need an urgent part collected from somewhere. Think of local groups who need volunteers regularly or for an event.
The way it will work is locals join the WhatsApp group using the link listed or by messaging myself on 0458661099. Current members can add other members but all members will need to be approved by myself to join the group. I am conscious that we are potentially advertising the exact date & time that people will be away from home, so security of information is important & the reason I am not using a general Facebook group.
When someone has a need, a member can post a message & then someone who can volunteer to assist can reply to the message or contact the individual directly. Once a volunteer is found a message should be added to say they are sorted.
It is not intended to be a burden on anyone but a way of linking locals in a more efficient way. Please join & please let me know if your have any queries, Kathryn
