Issues related to safety
This medicine has a recommended maximum daily dose of 4 capsules. However, taking more than one capsule per day exceeds the permitted limit for caffeine in listed medicines. Ingredient limits for listed medicines are in place to ensure their safety. While exceeding this limit is unacceptable, this medicine was never manufactured nor supplied in Australia. As such, it is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer health and safety.
Issues related to efficacy
The name of this medicine made claims regarding metabolism. However, these claims were not covered by the sponsor's certification that they held evidence to substantiate them.
Actions taken during the review
The TGA required the sponsor to correct the issues with this medicine. The sponsor cancelled this medicine and withdrew it from further supply.
