Update:
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia has received updated advice from Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD) regarding the supply shortage of Sinemet CR (levodopa/carbidopa). The supply situation is such that the distribution of Sinemet CR to pharmaceutical wholesalers has ceased until 2011. It is expected that the majority of pharmacies will not be able to fill prescriptions from March 2010 for approximately 12 months.
Pharmacists can assist by recommending all patients currently on Sinemet CR to make an appointment with their prescribing doctor as soon as possible to consider alternative arrangements.
Pharmacists with any queries can contact the MSD Medical Information group on 1800 645 712.

So, Aussies, consider your alternative arrangements. How about handing the whole problem over to the Crown Prosecutor? That would be an alternative.
