The Australian Self Medication
Industry (ASMI) said it was good

protect public health and safety
and it is critical that sponsors
comply with them.

with the regulations the TGA should
take action.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 08 Apr 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 08 Apr 14
