What the number tells you
An AUST L number identifies a listed medicine on the ARTG. Consumers can use the number to locate the public record and confirm the product name and sponsor.
What it does not mean
AUST L does not mean the TGA has individually evaluated every advertising statement or endorsed the brand. Claims must remain consistent with the product's permitted indications and approved label.
How to verify it
Enter the AUST L or ARTG number in the TGA public register, match the product name and sponsor, then compare the public record with the physical product label.
