Unauthorized drugs seized from Montreal store by Health Canada
Eight different prescription drugs have been seized from a Montreal store because Health Canada says they are unauthorized for use or sale in Canada.
Health Canada has seized unauthorized drugs from a Montreal store, Rabais 4Saisons Inc. The federal agency seized various medications, including emergency contraceptives, erectile dysfunction drugs, and antibiotics. Health Canada warned that unauthorized health products are not approved, assessed for safety, and may pose serious health risks.
Many seized drugs lacked English and French labels, making crucial information unavailable to consumers. Health Canada advises against purchasing or using unauthorized products, recommends consulting licensed healthcare professionals, and encourages reporting side effects or complaints. Consumers can verify product authorization by checking for an eight-digit Drug Identification Number, Natural Product Number, or Homeopathic Drug Number.
