Duncan Lewis, Personal Injury Solicitors, MHRA seizes “potentially dangerous” erectile dysfunction drugs

Enforcement officers from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have seized more than 62,000 doses of unlicensed medicines to treat erectile dysfunction.

The drugs were seized in raids on addresses in Scunthorpe on Wednesday (27/04/16) – and MHRA enforcement officers said the illegal and potentially dangerous unlicensed medicines have an estimated street value of nearly £200,000.

After the raids, MHRA Head of Enforcement, Alastair Jeffrey, said:

“Selling unlicensed medicines is illegal and poses a serious health hazard.

“Unlicensed medicines can be dangerous, as they may contain impurities, incorrect ingredients – and there is no way of knowing if they are manufactured to acceptable standards of quality and safety.

“Criminals involved in the illegal supply of medical products aren’t interested in your health – they are only interested in your money.

“Be careful buying medicines online – only buy from a site that is registered with MHRA and displays the new EU common logo.

“MHRA will continue to track down and prosecute those who put the public’s health at risk.”
