We would like to caution the public not to purchase medicines from such sources as they may be spurious, substandard, false and even contain some controlled narcotic and psychotropic substances. It is illegal to possess such products in the country without a valid prescription or Import Authorization and if found, the Authority shall take legal action accordingly.
