A Canberran has been fined $2664 for allegedly advertising a homeopathic medicine, claiming it had "a more competent immune response to the Covid-2 virus."
The Therapeutic Goods Administration - part of the Department of Health - claimed the person advertised a product on their website which it said was made from "the SARS Covid-2".
The advertisement allegedly claimed the product provided "a more competent immune response to the Covid-2 virus, and also to those who [are] presenting with post Covid symptoms."
The TGA said the commercial was unlawful because it "made representations in relation to COVID-19."
"Any claims or references about therapeutic goods concerning the prevention or treatment of a serious form of a disease, condition, ailment or defect are restricted representations," they said.
"The TGA was also concerned that the advertisement may result in Australians delaying vaccination in reliance on an unapproved product."
