Unregistered medicines with a market value of R126m have been“The unregistered medicines, which are believed to be ivermectin, were mainly found to be in tablet form,” said police Col Athlenda Mathe.
The discovery of the tablets was made earlier this week by authorities during an inspection of a cargo container that arrived from India.While no arrests have been made yet, SA police, through its Interpol office, are working with authorities from India to establish the exact delivery address of the consignment, said Mathe.
The latest confiscation of the unregistered medicines is the largest bust concerning the illegal importation of medicines, since the beginning of the year. In January, a multidisciplinary team arrested a total of seven people for the illegal importation of unregistered medicine mostly found to be Ivermectin. One person was arrested at King Shaka International Airport while six others were arrested at OR Tambo International Airport.In all cases, preliminary investigations revealed that the unregistered medicines had been imported for sale purposes, and would have been used in the treatment of the Covid-19 virus.
Mathe said police wished to remind pharmaceutical companies, including health experts, of the Medicines Act, which clearly states that anyone who wishes to import medicines into the country must have written authority from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority.
