Pharmac is now consulting publicly on potential brand changes for medicines included in the 2025/26 annual tender.


This year, around a third of the over 400 items that were tendered may result in a brand change. We want to ensure that any decisions we make are informed by the experiences and needs of prescribers and the people they care for.


Consultation opens on Wednesday 8 April and closes on Monday 4 May. More information about Pharmac’s Tender, including how to provide feedback, is available at

After we have considered the feedback received, Pharmac will make a decision on each medicine. We will announce these decisions throughout the year, at the end of every month.
