Step 4 - Obtaining an ID number for new proprietary ingredients

Skip this step if you are not including a new proprietary flavour, fragrance, ink or colour in the medicine.

• If you are adding a proprietary flavour, fragrance, ink or colour to the medicine, check whether the proprietary ingredient is included in the 'Proprietary Ingredients Table - external site' under Public TGA Information on the Business Services homepage.

If the proprietary ingredient is not in the Table, before you submit your application:

• Submit the completed Notification of a New Proprietary Ingredient form to obtain a proprietary ingredient ID number.

You will need the proprietary ingredient ID number to complete your application to change the medicine (Step 8).
