JUST when you were thinking it was time to give up your Facebook account because of all the rubbish you are sent, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has given you a good reason to stick with the popular advertising medium.
This week the TGA celebrates the release of its official Facebook page.
The TGA says, "Our Facebook page extends our reach with these consumers, increasing awareness of our role as Australia's regulator of medicines, medical devices, blood, cell and tissue products.
"Consumers can use the page to find information and tips on the safety of medicines and medical devices, while health professionals can use it to follow the latest news and guidance on the regulation of therapeutic goods."
The regulatory agency promises to provide regular updates, include consumer fact sheets, product safety alerts, and callouts for consumer input on regulatory decisions, along with fun facts such as the "science of goosebumps".
"We join a growing community of health organisations who engage with the public on social media, including the Australian Department of Health and Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
"Join us in protecting the health and safety of all Australians by following our Facebook page and sharing it with your networks."
