S’pore seizes illegal pharmaceuticals in Interpol operation
Dermal fillers seized during the raid. Prescription medication and anti-parasitic drugs made up the bulk of the seizures in Singapore.
SINGAPORE – A sweep across multiple jurisdictions led by global policing body Interpol, with raids in Singapore by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), has resulted in significant seizures of unapproved and counterfeit pharmaceuticals.
Interpol on May 7 said Singapore, along with Australia, New Zealand, the US and Britain, reported significant seizures of ivermectin – a treatment for parasitic worm infections – and fenbendazole, which is commonly used as a dewormer for pets.
Often mislabelled as health supplements, these products are being sold as part of so-called cancer treatment kits, making them easier to access and avoid regulation, Interpol added.
