About
Welcome to Meds2Australia
Meds2Australia helps Australians find affordable, legally sourced medicines and TGA-approved generics. We bring together price comparisons, brand-versus-generic insights, and plain‑English guides so you can make safe, informed decisions about your treatment options. Our goal is simple: safe savings first.
Our Mission
We exist to make evidence-based medicine information and pricing more transparent for people in Australia. By focusing on TGA-approved products, licensed pharmacies, and clear guidance on prescription requirements, we help you navigate care confidently without compromising safety.
What We Do
Price and Product Comparisons
We compare Australian prices for common prescription medicines and TGA-approved generics to highlight potential savings and availability. Our comparisons aim to clarify when a generic may offer the same active ingredient and clinical effect as a brand, and when brand-specific features may matter.
Evidence-Based Guides
We publish plain-English disease guides, side-effect overviews, and treatment options for common conditions. Each guide is built from reputable Australian and international clinical references and is reviewed for clarity, relevance, and accuracy for the Australian context.
Safety First: Sourcing and Prescriptions
We explain how to buy safely through licensed pharmacies in Australia, why TGA approval matters, and what prescriptions are required. We never promote unlicensed sources and we do not encourage bypassing Australian medical or legal requirements.
Who We Serve
Australians looking to compare drug prices, understand generic vs brand options, and learn about evidence-based alternatives for common conditions. Our resources are designed for patients, carers, and consumers seeking reliable medication information—not a substitute for advice from your doctor or pharmacist.
How We Keep Information Trustworthy
Editorial Standards
Our editorial process emphasises accuracy, neutrality, and clarity. Content is drafted by health writers using authoritative sources, then checked for medical relevance, Australian regulation, and consumer readability.
Medical and Pharmacist Review
Where noted, guides undergo expert review by licensed clinicians or pharmacists to ensure content aligns with current standards of care and safety considerations. We update pages periodically to reflect new evidence or regulatory changes.
Sources and Australian Context
We prioritise Australian regulatory guidance (including TGA approvals), PBS context where relevant, and local prescribing practices. When international data is used, we note any differences that may affect Australian availability, dosing, or regulation.
How We Compare Prices and Availability
Data Sources and Scope
Pricing insights reflect typical retail pricing or advertised offers from licensed Australian pharmacies and are intended as a guide, not a guarantee. Actual prices can vary by pharmacy, location, PBS status, stock levels, and dispensing fees.
Brand vs Generic
When a generic is TGA-approved for the same active ingredient, strength, and dosage form as a brand medicine, it is generally considered therapeutically equivalent. We present similarities and differences, including formulation features, pack sizes, and cost considerations, to support informed choices with your prescriber or pharmacist.
Limitations
Our comparisons may not capture real-time stock, special sales, or insurance and concession impacts. Always confirm price, availability, and suitability with your pharmacist before purchase.
Independence, Funding, and Disclosures
Meds2Australia is editorially independent. If we ever receive advertising or affiliate compensation, it will be clearly disclosed, and our comparisons will remain driven by safety, evidence, and consumer interests. We never sell medicines and we do not accept compensation to promote unlicensed sources or to alter medical content.
