Weight Loss Drugs,Black Market,Counterfeit Medications

The Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a stark warning to Brits seeking weight loss drugs after the Christmas period, cautioning against the dangers of black market medications. Andy Morling, deputy head of enforcement at the MHRA, highlighted the 'tremendous harm' people have suffered from taking counterfeit products, emphasizing the severity of the issue. This warning comes amid a reported shortage of the diabetes medication Ozempic, which is also used for weight loss, leading to concerns about a surge in the unlicensed sale of medication online.

A stark warning has been issued to Brits attempting to get their hands on weight loss drugs to counteract the extra pounds piled on over the Christmas period. Officials have warned of the 'tremendous' dangers of black market weight loss drugs.

Industry insiders have expressed concern to LBC that social media advertisements for weight loss jabs are on the rise, with shortages in the supply of Semaglutide, a key component for these goods, encouraging people to search for these goods in non-pharmaceutical settings. The pace at which criminals have attempted to capitalise on this trend has alarmed the MHRA, Mr Morling conceded.
