Gardimax Medica Spray

GIF decision: Advertising suspension

What does this decision mean?

  • Wstrzymanie reklam — The decision suspends advertising activities — the product itself remains available.

The advertisement of Gardimax Medica Spray and Dektac 25 mg film-coated tablets is misleading regarding their properties, suggesting they fight viruses and fever, although such indications are not included in the Summary of Product Characteristics or the patient leaflet. Potential effects: improper use of the medicine, lack of treatment efficacy, delay of appropriate therapy.
