All medications in Australia come under the umbrella of Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
TGA is Australia's government authority responsible for evaluating, assessing and monitoring products that are defined as therapeutic goods. TGA regulates medicines, medical devices and biologicals to help Australians stay healthy and safe.
TGA has a website with useful resources and information about your medication which you may want to know about, including:
product safety of medications
how medication is regulated
database of adverse event notifications
resources and guidance
informative and up to date articles
latest safety alerts for medicines or medical devices with possible risks
You can also report a problem or side effect of a medication on their website.
