Building a foundation of trust and quality
Have you ever wondered what goes into manufacturing complementary medicines in Australia?
Australia has one of the strictest regulatory requirements in the world regarding manufacturing supplements, resulting in high-quality products for you and your patients.
In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Association oversees the manufacture of complementary medicines (supplements). They ensure the products you prescribe to your patients meet strict quality standards.
Learn about the labelling requirements, why you see specific warnings on labels, and what they mean. Gain an understanding of what goes into manufacturing a product.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is part of the Australian Government Department of Health and regulates therapeutic goods, including prescription medicines, vaccines, sunscreens, vitamins and minerals, medical devices, and blood and blood products.
Almost any product for which therapeutic claims are made must be entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) before it can be supplied in Australia.
