the shortage are no longer
available under section 19A of the
Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.

metal particles found in 11 batches
of Zovirax (PD 28 Oct 2014).The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 07 Jun 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 07 Jun 16
