About assessed listed medicines
An assessed listed medicine is a non-prescription product listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). These include herbal supplements, vitamins, and nutritional products with specific health claims.
They contain low-risk ingredients and are made following Good Manufacturing Practice. They also have at least one intermediate level indication. We assess scientific evidence for their health claims before approval.
An example is a product containing eucalyptus oil which claims to “kill head lice and their eggs.”
Once approved, these medicines receive an AUST L(A) number showing we have assessed their claims.
You must meet certain obligations to legally supply therapeutic goods in Australia. This section contains guidance and information specific to assessed listed medicines. You may also have to meet obligations that apply to all medicines and all products.
