We have accepted a court-enforceable undertaking from Your Solution Compounding Pharmacy Pty Ltd, regarding advertising of prescription-only compounded medicines for weight-loss.

Following our Essential Principles presentations on 11-12 September 2024, we have collated questions asked into themes to simplify finding information of relevance to you.

We have accepted an enforceable undertaking from 2San Pty Ltd in relation to breaches of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989. This relates to the company's unlawful import and supply of medical devices.

The company imported medical devices not included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. They supplied these devices to a national retailer, who then sold them to the public.

Amendments to the Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990 (Schedule 5, item 6) have been made resulting in compounded GLP-1 RA products no longer being able to be compounded by pharmacists and supplied to patients.

Some online health clinics are advertising and selling compounded medicines. However, it is important to know that compounded products are not identical to TGA approved products.

The TGA is aware of several scams targeting consumers seeking semaglutide (Ozempic). Consumers are strongly advised not to use products unless they have come from a trusted source.

Supplies of Ozempic (semaglutide) have begun distribution in Australia but will remain quite limited for some time.

The TGA has approved the first two nasal combination self-tests (for use at home) that detect both COVID-19 and influenza viral infections in humans.
