How to Verify LDV20 on the ARTG
What is the ARTG?
The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) is the official database of all therapeutic goods β including medicines, medical devices and biologicals β that are approved for legal supply in Australia. It is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), a division of the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.
The ARTG is publicly searchable, meaning consumers can verify whether a specific product is genuinely included in the register before using it. The TGA describes the ARTG as a tool that allows consumers to "check if a product (medicine or medical device) is approved for use in Australia".

- Confirm the product is legally supplied in Australia.
- Check that the ingredients match the official regulatory record.
- Distinguish genuine products from counterfeit or non-compliant goods.
