What it is
Andrographis products should identify Andrographis paniculata, plant part and preparation. A generic botanical name does not establish a comparable formulation.
Sources: Therapeutic Goods Administration
What the cited evidence shows
The TGA’s 2026 safety review concerns Andrographis paniculata in listed medicines. It reports continuing anaphylaxis reports despite label warnings and concludes the safety evidence did not support stronger warnings or other mitigation as sufficient for the low-risk listed-medicine framework.
Sources: Therapeutic Goods Administration
Limits and safety context
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. The TGA notes reactions may be unpredictable, including after previous use without a problem. This page makes no cold, flu or immune treatment claim.
