A man was interviewed by department officers about illegally importing and consequently providing unlicensed impotence medicines by means of the internet.

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

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

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

Its senior enforcement workplace, Peter Moore, stated: “It is important that we get the message across that unlicensed medicines can be harmful.

“These types of products being offered, usually online, have gone through no quality control and there can be no about their safety.

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