Issues related to safety
The website for this medicine contained claims regarding hormonal imbalances, which is not permitted for listed medicines without prior evaluation or approval from the TGA. References to non-permitted claims have the potential to lead consumers to delay access to timely advice or treatment from a suitability qualified health professional when required, which may result in adverse outcomes.
While advertising of this nature is unacceptable, the above claims have been removed and the website advised consumers to talk to their health professional if symptoms persist. As such, this medicine is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer health and safety.
