THE TGA has fined NSW based Sun Herbal Pty Ltd $18,780 for allegedly supplying a complementary medicine without a required warning.
The regulatory authority stated the medication contained Artemisia frigida, which is unsafe for women who are pregnant or aiming to become pregnant.
However, the medicine's label failed to include the mandatory warning, and Sun Herbal did not have permission to sell it without this caution, explained the TGA.
Pharmacists should note the product has been recalled and is no longer allowed for sale.
Further, the TGA emphasised the importance of sponsors complying with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, and ensuring listed medicines meet all the established regulatory requirements.
