Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG)
The ARTG is the public database of therapeutic goods that can be legally supplied in Australia. You can search the ARTG to find details of therapeutic goods approved for supply.
Information held in the ARTG includes product name and formulation details, and sponsor (company) and manufacturer details.
For more details and how to use the ARTG search function, go to Searching the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).
Search results from the ARTG include Consumer Medicine Information (CMI), Product Information (PI) and Public Summary documents. Not all CMI and PI documents are available on this website.
