Medicine recalls from the Therapeutic Goods Association

The Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) has issued a recall for several products containing the ingredient Artemisia.  

After a review of the safety of the ingredient Artemisia by the TGA, it has formed the view that the safety of listed medicines containing Artemisia species may pose a risk when used by consumers who are pregnant, or likely to become pregnant. 

Considering this, the TGA has advised that medicines which contain Artemisia ingredients should not be taken by women who are pregnant, think they may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant.
