THE TGA has issued a labelling exemption for paracetamol products affected by the new pack size and retailing changes taking effect in Feb 2025.
Designed to assist industry in transitioning to the upcoming paracetamol scheduling changes, and to facilitate pharmacy's ability to supply these products, the exemption will be in place for 12 months.
The exemptions are for signal words for certain Pharmacy medicine (Schedule 2) and Pharmacist Only medicine (Schedule 3) products.
An additional labelling exemption until 31 Jan 2025 will allow pharmacies to supply newly labelled Pharmacist Only (Schedule 3) products in anticipation of the changes to the Poisons Standard taking place on 1 Feb 2025.
