Health Ministry issues RM120mil in fines over unregistered medicines


KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry has issued RM120mil in compounds for offences involving unregistered medicines, amid rising concerns over illicit drug sales and online promotion, says Deputy Health Minister Datuk Lukanisman Awang Sauni.

He said the fines were imposed under Regulation 7(1)(a) of the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, as authorities step up enforcement against unregistered products entering the market.
