About this consultation
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is seeking feedback on proposed changes to the rules for Australian medicine labels.
We are proposing changes to help make sure that certain information important to health professionals is displayed clearly on labels or is available in the appropriate format. We also want to improve information about large oral dosage forms on listed medicines because the TGA continues to receive reports of serious choking related adverse events. We are seeking feedback to make sure the proposed rules support the safe use of medicines.
This consultation is about proposed changes to address 3 medicine safety matters identified as needing action before we review labelling rules more broadly. We will conduct further public consultation about more improvements to labelling rules in the future.
