The government is now operating in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions, pending the outcome of the 2025 federal election.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is aware that some Australian consumers may have purchased the product Pink Lady for Women capsules over the internet. The label of this product claims the ingredients to be 100% herbal in origin.
However, analysis undertaken by the TGA Laboratories in Australia has confirmed the presence of therapeutic quantities of tadalafil in these capsules. Tadalafil is the active ingredient in the approved Eli Lilly Australia Pty Ltd product Cialis, which is indicated for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction.
Consumers are advised that tadalafil is a prescription-only medicine in Australia, and may be harmful if taken without the supervision of a medical professional, particularly in patients with history of cardiovascular disease.
Pink Lady for women capsules have not been assessed by the TGA for quality, safety or efficacy as required under Australian legislation, and the place of manufacture is not approved by the TGA. In Australia, commercial supply of Pink Lady for Women capsules is illegal.
If you have purchased Pink Lady for Women capsules you are advised to cease using them and discard any remaining product. If you have concerns arising from your use of this product, you should consult your health care practitioner.
Consumers are again advised to exercise extreme caution about purchasing medicines from unknown overseas internet sites. Products purchased in this way may not meet the same standards of quality, safety and efficacy as those approved by the TGA for supply in Australia, and may contain undisclosed and potentially harmful ingredients.
