What the PBS pays
$2M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 20,821 services.
This is spend on the medicines considered for this condition, not spend on the disease. A medicine used for several conditions is counted in full under each, so figures across conditions add to more than national PBS expenditure.
| Medicine | Government benefit |
|---|---|
| sildenafil citrate | $2M |
Registered, not subsidised
Medicines on the ARTG for this condition with no PBAC record at all. Registration and subsidy are separate decisions: a medicine can be legally available in Australia and never have been put to the committee.
| Medicine | On the ARTG since | Registrations |
|---|---|---|
| nitric oxideINOmax nitric oxide 4,880 ppm medicinal gas for inhalation cylinder | 2007 | 3 |
| iloprostVENTAVIS iloprost 10 microgram/mL solution for inhalation ampoule | 2004 | 1 |
The ARTG export holds current registrations only, so the year is the earliest entry still on the register rather than a first-registration date. The condition here comes from the registered label, which is usually broader than the population a sponsor asks to have subsidised.
Conditions are classified by a language model from the indication text of each submission, so an individual label here can be wrong. Consumer input is read from the document's own consumer comments section: 0 of 0 decisions since 2014 carried some. Silence means no comment reached the committee through that facility, not that nobody was affected. More on how this was built.
