The Department of Health has issued a warning about the dangers of buying prescription weight loss injections from unregulated sources.
The Department said it is aware that there has been an increase in demand for so-called “weight loss injections” in Northern Ireland which has seen people sourcing medicines from unregulated or unapproved sources including unscrupulous websites, online sellers and local illicit sources.
People are being urged to consider the implications of buying drugs online from unverified websites or dubious sources – there is no way of knowing what you are buying is what you think it is, and this can have serious consequences for your health.
