Dangerous counterfeit and unlicensed medicines worth nearly £16m have been seized in a record haul by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
Slimming pills, drugs for erectile dysfunction and cancer medicines were taken in a series of raids.
The MHRA said criminals were making money at the expense of people's health and it was a growing problem.
Nearly 1,400 websites were closed as part of the operation.


Items seized in the UK included:

  • two million doses of erectile dysfunction drugs
  • slimming drugs - some of which can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes

Excellent, now they need to remove the protectionist laws in place prohibiting citizens from obtaining much needed appropriately prescribed medications affordably from reputable pharmacies around the world... which caused the problem in the first place.

we get free prescribed medications in scotland. i would of thought you, would have know this. or googled it.

my point was there must be a market for drugs in the world we live in.( illegal or prescribed. )

the add at 34.99 is buying it over the counter at you local drug store as the usa would call it.
