Consultation: Medicine label advisory statements
Related information
- Required advisory statements for medicine labels, published in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. GN 25, 23 June 2004
This paper was released in November 2002 for comment. It remains on this website as a historical reference.
The TGA's Review of the Labelling Requirements for Medicines recommended that warning and advisory statements from various sources (such as the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons (SUSDP) and the Therapeutic Goods Regulations) be consolidated into a single document.
This consultation document proposes a method for implementing that recommendation and a process for ensuring the resulting document is maintained in an efficient and effective manner.
