Large quantities of unlicensed medicines have actually been taken by Department of Health officials during a search of a house in Glengormley.

A male was spoken with by department officers about illegally importing and consequently providing unlicensed impotence medications through the web.

The 47-year-old was also questioned about other medication offenses.

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, stated: «It is vital that we get the message across that unlicensed medications can be unsafe.

«These types of products being offered, typically online, have actually undergone no quality control and there can be no warranty about their security.

«You simply do not know what you are taking or the conditions these items were made in. More importantly, you do not understand the effect drugs like this might have on your health.»
