ASMI Supports TGA Review

The Australian Self Medication Industry (ASMI) said it was good to see that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)  had a transparent mechanism to assess compliance of complementary medicines, and that it took action for non-compliance.  This followed the publication of the TGA’s review of listed complementary medicines.

ASMI scientific and regulatory affairs director Steve Scarff said the organisation supported the TGA’s review approach and publication of findings.  “Regulations are in place to protect public health and safety and it is critical that sponsors comply with them. “If a sponsor does not comply with the regulations the TGA should take action.”
