Issues related to safety
The label and website for this medicine contained claims specified in 'What action should consumers take?' above. Some of these claims are 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 suitably qualified health professional when required, which may result in adverse outcomes.
While advertising of this nature is unacceptable, the label advised consumers to talk to their health professional if symptoms persist. In addition, these claims have been removed from the label and website. As such, this medicine is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer health and safety.
