What are complementary medicines? Regulated in Australia as medicines under the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989, complementary medicines include vitamins, mineral and nutritional supplements, homeopathic, aromatherapy products and herbal medicines (unless specifically exempt). The term ‘complementary medicines’ also comprises traditional medicines, including traditional Chinese medicines, Ayurvedic, Australian Indigenous and Western herbal medicines. Other natural healthcare products may be regulated as foods, such as functional foods and special purpose foods, or as cosmetics, such as natural cosmetics that use herbals and botanicals. http://www.cmaustralia.org.au/
"GMP Pharmaceuticals Group is a leading privately-owned Australia and New Zealand based manufacturing company specialising in complementary healthcare products, natural health and dairy products". http://gmp.com.au/about-us/
Now after pouring over every bit of information available on "GMP Pharmaceuticals" and "Bio Health Pharmaceuticals" websites, nowhere does it state that they are able to produce or manufacture any products other than Complementary Medicines.
