thank Professor Tooke for his significant contribution since he joined as a Non-Executive
Director in 2020. His expertise has helped shaped our strategic direction and clinical

Risks associated with the use of MDMA, MDMA-inspired compounds and psilocybin
All medicines carry risks and specialist prescribers, such as registered psychiatrists, are best placed to assess
the suitability of a new medication against a patient’s individual circumstances and medical history before
proceeding. Adverse effects of MDMA include high blood pressure, increased pulse rate, faintness, and panic
attacks, and in some rare cases it can cause loss of consciousness or trigger seizures. Other side effects include
involuntary jaw clenching, decreased appetite, restless legs, nausea, headache, sweating and muscle/joint
stiffness. Adverse effects of psilocybin can include temporary increase in blood pressure and a raised heart rate.
There may be some risk of psychosis in predisposed individuals. The effects of MDMA and psilocybin are
unlikely at low doses in the treatment regimens used in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy while
appropriately managed in a controlled environment with direct medical supervision. The risk profile of the
MDMA inspired compounds is currently unknown.
The availability of these products is subject to the safety and efficacy of the products being tested through
clinical trials. Emyria makes no representations or warranties as to the safety or efficacy of the products or the
products’ ability (or the ability of its key compounds) to be used in the treatment of indications such as PTSD.
There are currently no approved products containing MDMA, psilocybin or MDMA inspired compounds that
the TGA has evaluated for quality, safety and efficacy.
