Sentence imposed for sale of illegal drugs

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) reported the sentencing in London of a man involved in the illegal supply and sale of potentially dangerous unauthorised and prescription-only medicines and Class C drugs.

The sentencing followed an in-depth investigation by enforcement officers from the MHRA into a network suspected to be involved in the illegal importation and supply of medicines such as Tadalafil, Sibutramine, and Sildenafil.

Supplying medicines from sources outside the regulated supply chain represents a significant public health risk as they may contain dangerous ingredients that can have negative health consequences for the people who use them.
