Updating medicine ingredient names - list of affected ingredients

A list of medicine ingredient names that are changing, including what the changes are. The list is split into active ingredients and excipient ingredients.

Last updated

5 April 2023

On this page:

We updated some medicine ingredient names used in Australia to align with names used internationally.

Active ingredients

Changes to active ingredients include:

Adrenaline and noradrenaline
Dual labelling
Hydration change only
Minor spelling changes
Other minor changes
Other significant changes

Adrenaline and noradrenaline

Adrenaline and noradrenaline remain as the approved names in Australia. There is no intent to move to using epinephrine and norepinephrine as the new ingredient names.

Instead, medicines containing adrenaline and noradrenaline will include the international names epinephrine and norepinephrine on labels and information leaflets. By including this information on labels indefinitely, we hope to reduce confusion for health professionals and consumers.

Dual labelling

Dual labelling: these ingredients will need to show the dual labelled name on the product label until the end of the relevant dual labelling period, before changing to the new name. For more information see Dual labelled medicine ingredient names start the transition to sole names on 30 April 2023.
