A JOINT presentation to the
Australian Self Medication Industry
workshop on 24 Jul presented
by Philippa Horner, principal
legal advisor at the Therapeutic
Goods Administration and Trisha
Garrett, head of the Office of
Complementary Medicines,
discussed the complex issue of
food/medicine interface.
The presenters drew distinctions
beween therapeutic goods which
are covered by an s.7 declaration
with a claimed medical benefit
versus products such as green tea,
which might be food within state/
territory food regulation legislation.
The talk included a flow chart
to help analyse the status of a
given product pointing out that
if a product were presented in
a capsule with medical claims it
might be classified as a medicine.
