Issues related to safety
The name of this medicine implied it can remove or clear oestrogen. This claim is not permitted for listed medicines without prior evaluation or approval from the TGA. References to non-permitted claims have the potential to lead consumers to delay access to timely advice or treatment from a suitably qualified health professional when required, which may result in adverse outcomes.
However, the label advised consumers to talk to their health professional if symptoms persist. As such, this medicine is unlikely to pose an immediate risk to consumer health and safety.
Issues related to efficacy
