SYDNEY company JSHealth Vitamins Pty Ltd was issued an infringement notice and fine for $13,320 for an alleged breach of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, last week.
JSHealth Vitamins supplied a complementary medicine that the TGA alleges did not conform with legal requirements.
The TGA said the medicine included the ingredient andrographis paniculata (green chiretta), which may cause taste disturbance, including loss of taste.
However, the label of the medicine did not include the required warning statement advising customers of this, and nor did JSHealth Pty Ltd have consent to supply the medicine without this statement, the TGA said.
