The Ministry of Health and Social Development is once again reminding people in the Territory about the dangers of purchasing pharmaceutical medicines and dietary supplements via the internet.
Chief of Drugs and Pharmaceutical Services Ms. Gracia Wheatley told the Department of Information and Public Relations that the renewed appeal has come amid a consumer alert related to counterfeit versions of the popular weight loss product "Alli® 60 mg capsules", which is being sold over the internet.
"Laboratory tests conducted by GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of
Alli confirmed that the counterfeit product does not contain the active ingredient Oristat, but contains an ingredient named Sibutramine", noted the Chief of Drugs and Pharmaceutical Services.
