The investigation remains ongoing and a number of the pens have been removed from circulation
The Department of Health has issued a warning about the dangers of buying prescription weight loss injections from unregulated sources.
– there is no way of knowing what you are buying is what you think it is, and this can have serious consequences for your health.The potential risk to public health has been recently highlighted during an investigation by the Department’s Medicines Regulatory Group , which has established falsified injectable weight loss pens in circulation in Northern Ireland.
Peter Moore, Senior Medicines Enforcement Officer with the Department of Health, said: “You may be breaking the law by advertising or unlawfully supplying prescription only medicines outside the legitimate supply chain. "Medicines obtained through unregulated or unapproved sources will often not have been prescribed by a healthcare professional, may not have been subject to the normal safety and quality controls on manufacture and, as such, may not be of the required quality or be of the nature described.
