On 13 June 2008, the High Court of South Africa (Cape of Good Hope Provincial Division) ruled against a producer of alternative remedies and the Government of South Africa in a case regarding vitamin supplements being marketed as treatments for HIV/AIDS. The court found that the vitamin supplements were "medicines" and hence subject to regulation under the Medicines and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965. |
