Chemist Warehouse challenges TGA order

January 22, 2014

The Therapeutic Goods Administration has again found pharmacy chain giant Chemist Warehouse in breach of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code with juxtaposition of vitamin advertisements with “health information” relating to breast cancer, diabetes and stroke. The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that Damien Gance, the company’s commercial manager, said that Chemist Warehouse would not comply with the order to retract because the content is “several years old” and provided by a supplier “unrelated to the advertisements.” CLICK HERE to see the Complaints Resolution Panel Determination.
