TGA cracks down on B6 — but not until 2027

Changes mean supplements containing more than 50mg of vitamin B6 will need to be bought over the counter with advice from a pharmacist.

But the changes won't come into affect for another year and a half. The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) says industry needs time to prepare. 

Also, the H5N1 strain of bird flu lands on Australian territory for the first time. Are we prepared for it on the mainland?

And for the first time we get accurate numbers of how many people are living with metastatic breast cancer.
