The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is seeking comments from interested parties on proposed new advisory statements for labels of over the counter (OTC) medicines containing triptans (sumatriptan, zolmitriptan, rizatriptan, eletriptan), for inclusion in the Required Advisory Statements for Medicine Labels (RASML). The proposal to include advisory statements for triptan-containing medicines in RASML follows recent down-scheduling of triptans when supplied under specific conditions, from Schedule 4 to Schedule 3 of the Poisons Standard.
