Newcastle pharmacy fined for advertising weight-loss product

The Therapeutic Goods Administration has fined a Shortland pharmacy for advertising an unlisted "FatBlaster" product on its website.

The TGA slapped Junction Rx Pty Limited, trading as My Community Pharmacy, with a $13,320 infringement notice for promoting the "unlisted complementary medicine", FatBlaster Apple Cider Vinegar and Garcinia Max.

Alternative medicines must be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods before they can be imported, exported, manufactured or supplied for use.

The Shortland pharmacy was one of 15 online retailers issued with cease and desist notices regarding alleged unlawful advertising of the product.

Fourteen of the online retailers complied with the TGA's deadline.
