The TGA has published the
outcome of a decision relating to
the promotion of a product called
Macutec by Stiltec Pty Ltd.
In Aug the TGA delegate of the
Secretary made an order about ads
on the macutec.com.au website
which found that it breached the
Therapeutic Goods Advertising
Code, carrying incorrect
and unbalanced claims and
inappropriately referred to serious
medical conditions.
Stiltec was ordered to withdraw
representations that Macutec
protects against macular damage as
well as publish a retraction.
The company has worked
closely with the TGA to ensure full
compliance with the orders, with
the website “considered to be
compliant with the order including
the publication of the retraction” as
