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 recovered various medications, including emergency contraceptive pills, erectile dysfunction drugs, and antibiotics for parasites. Health Canada emphasized that unauthorized health products are illegal and have not undergone safety, effectiveness, and quality assessments.
Consequently, they may pose significant health risks, as several seized products lacked English and French labels, which are mandatory in Canada. The agency urged consumers not to purchase or use unauthorized health products and to consult a licensed healthcare professional if any adverse health effects are observed. Consumers can verify if a product is authorized by checking for an eight-digit Drug Identification Number, Natural Product Number, or Homeopathic Drug Number. Any side effects or complaints should be reported to Health Canada.
