🚨 **Urgent Alert: Fake Weight-Loss Medication Investigation in Wales!** 🚨
Police in North Wales have launched a major investigation into illegal weight-loss meds being sold online and at beauty salons in Wrexham and Flintshire. These meds aren’t licensed in the UK and could pose serious health risks. Three arrests have already been made for fraud-related offences. 🕵️♀️
Authorities are warning that these counterfeit drugs, including fake versions of popular injections like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and unapproved Retatrutide, are dangerous. Purchasing from unverified sources might mean you’re not getting what you paid for and could harm your health due to incorrect dosages or harmful ingredients. 💊
Detective Inspector Claire Roberts urges everyone to be cautious. If you have any info, contact the police by calling 101 or through their website. 📞
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) highlights that most weight-loss medications should be prescription-only and obtained from registered pharmacies with proper consultations. Buying outside of these channels significantly increases the risk of counterfeit products. ⚠️
Public Health Wales also stresses the dangers, stating that some unofficial drugs might not contain the right ingredients, might have dangerous levels of active substances, or none at all. Always seek advice from a GP or pharmacist for safe alternatives. 👩⚕️👨⚕️
Stay safe, stay informed, and always purchase medications through proper, regulated channels! 💙✨
