TGA
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reminds businesses and media outlets that it is unlawful to publicly advertise prescription-only medicines, including prescription-only weight loss medicines.
Advertising of prescription-only medicines directly to consumers undermines individual health practitioner advice and may create an inappropriate demand for particular medicines which may not be the appropriate treatment for that individual’s circumstance.
The Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (the Act) applies to anyone publishing information about therapeutic goods, including media outlets and suppliers of those goods.
