Erectile dysfunction medications took in Glengormley

8 April 2011

Large amounts of unlicensed medications have actually been taken by Department of Health officials throughout a search of a home in Glengormley.

A guy was talked to by about unlawfully importing and subsequently supplying unlicensed impotence medicines through the internet.

The 47-year-old was also questioned about other medicine offences.

He will now be the topic of a report to the general public Prosecution Service.

The search was performed by the department's Medicines Regulatory Group.

Its senior enforcement office, Peter Moore, said: "It is vital that we get the message across that unlicensed medications can be dangerous.

"These kinds of items being offered, generally online, have actually gone through no quality assurance and there can be no assurance about their security.

"You merely do not understand what you are taking or the conditions these products were made in. More notably, you do not understand the result drugs like this might have on your health."
