TGA moves on weight loss products
February 28, 2012
THE Therapeutic Goods
Administration is proposing the
cancellation of one of the
Supprexxa weight loss products
after an investigation into the
claims made by its sponsor, Chika
Health Pty Ltd which is owned by
former NSW Liberal Party leader,
Kerry Chikarovski.
“After receiving and analysing the
evidence TGA scientific experts
have determined that the available
evidence does not support some of
the claims being made,” according
to an update on the TGA website.
The company has been given 20
working days to respond to the
proposal to cancel the product’s
registration, with the item affected
being Supprexxa Hunger Buster
(AUST L 189644), a kit which
contains Supprexxa Fat Burner Max
capsules and Supprexxa
Metabolism Kick oral spray.
The TGA has reminded consumers
that while it ensures that listed lowrisk
complementary medicines
don’t contain unsave substances, it
does not test listed medicines for
efficacy before they are included on
the Australian Register of
Therapeutic Goods.
