Large quantities of unlicensed medications have been taken by Department of Health officials during a search of a house in Glengormley.
A man was interviewed by department officers about illegally importing and subsequently providing unlicensed impotence medicines through the web.
The 47-year-old was likewise questioned about other medicine offences.
He will now be the subject of a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
The search was carried out by the department’s Medicines Regulatory Group.
Its office, Peter Moore, said: «It is essential that we get the message throughout that unlicensed medicines can be unsafe.
«These types of products being offered, generally online, have undergone no quality assurance and there can be no guarantee about their safety.
«You just do not know what you are taking or the conditions these items were made in. More importantly, you do not know the effect drugs like this might have on your health.»
