Adulterated cosmetic drugs seized from health institution in Oman

Muscat: The Ministry of Health (MoH) referred a private health institution to the Public Prosecution after seizing samples of cosmetic injectable medical drugs suspected of being adulterated.

The drugs are of unknown origin, and not imported through legal and official means, according to the procedures followed by the General Directorate of Pharmacy and Drug Control.

MoH added: “The samples were seized during inspection campaigns carried out by the Ministry of Health to verify the safety of medicines and apply legal procedures in their import and provision.”

It is worth noting that the Ministry of Health has imposed fines on many health centers and complexes that were proven to violate the health regulations, procedures and preventive measures followed in the Sultanate of Oman.
