THE Therapeutic Goods
Administration has announced that
effective 01 Nov it will publish the
outcome of “certain investigations
into complaints about advertising”
which have been referred by the
Complaints Resolution Panel.
The TGA says the move aims to
provide guidance to advertisers on
how the Regulations are interpreted
“and also act as an information
resource for advertisers, consumers
and the media on decision making
and actions taken by the TGA in
advertising casewordk”.
Currently the outcome of
complaints are listed in a register at
www.tgacrp.com.au, and where a
person fails to acknowledge or act
on a determination by the panel,
the complaint may be referred to
the TGA for follow-up action.
So-called ‘Regulation 9 Orders’
by the TGA make the advertisers
withdraw advertisments and publish
a retraction or correction, and n
future they will be detailed on the
TGA website at www.tga.gov.au.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 09 Nov 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 09 Nov 10
