Complaint to TGA: Brauer (Homeopathic) Products

This is a high priority complaint to test the TGA's will to act on recalcitrant sponsors of complementary medicines. The CRP has upheld more than 15 complaints about homeopathic medicines from 2003 to 2017. A recent upheld complaint was (2017-06-019) Brauer Baby & Child Colic (determination appended). I now attach screen shots of an advertisement for this product taken on the 12/07/2018. While one claim has been removed from the pack ("for abdominal pain") others continue despite the CRP determining they breached s.4(1)(b), 4(2)(a), 4(2)(c), 4(2)(d) of the Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code 2015. Arrows to point to ongoing claims that the CRP judged breached the Code.

In addition, I include screen shots taken on the 12/07/2018 of other Brauer product about which I allege similar breaches of the Code to those determined by the CRP for the Baby & Child Colic product. It is particularly disappointing that Brauer have chosen not to apply the findings of determination 2017-06-019 to their other products. Furthermore, certain of these ineffective homeopathic products are promoted for conditions for which there are effective allopathic medicines. For example, while Brauer promotes as an apparent virtue that their Baby & Child Products are free from paracetamol and ibuprofen; however, the latter are effective in reducing fever &/or pain while the former are not. Hayfever sufferers who choose ineffective homeopathic products rather than the clinically proven allopathic products, such as Sanofi-Aventis Telfast, would be at serious risk in the event of another Melbourne `thunderstorm asthma' emergency.
