Ingredient name changes: a medicine ingredient by any other name…
11 June 2019 - Consistent names are important, especially the names we use for important things like medicine ingredients.
For this reason, over the last few years the TGA has been updating the Australian names of medicine ingredients. These updates bring our medicine ingredient names in line with the international names already in use in places like the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
This means that when you travel to these countries, you can still find your medicine even if it is sold under a different brand name to the one you are familiar with. The ingredient name will be the same as the one used in Australia.
