THE Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has issued safety advisories for several Avurvedic medicines contaminated with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals, including mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium.

The affected products are:

* Brahmi Vati tablets (Unjha Ayurvedic Pharmacy)

* Kumar Kalyan Rasa tablets, (Unjha Ayurvedic Pharmacy)

* Manasamitra Vadakam tablets (SKM Siddha and Ayurvedha).

None of the products have been assessed by the TGA for quality, safety or efficacy.

The TGA noted it had previously issued safety advisories for unregistered Ayurvedic products.

“Despite these warnings, we continue to intercept unregistered Ayurvedic medicines imported into Australia that contain dangerous levels of heavy metals and other controlled or prohibited ingredients,” the regulator stated – more HERE.
