Summarised from Belfast Live's report · Updated 27 Oct, 19:32 · Archive

A man has been remanded into prison after police in Northern Ireland seized unlicensed GLP-1 weight-loss injections.

Police in Newry, Mourne and Down seized a number of unlicensed GLP-1 weight-loss injection pens on 22 October. A man was arrested the following day and remanded into prison.

The PSNI said that any GLP-1 sold outside a clinical trial is being supplied illegally and could pose serious risks. There is no safety testing for quality or effectiveness, and no guarantee of what the injections contain or whether they have been contaminated.

Police advised anyone who has already bought unlicensed injections not to use them and to speak to their GP. The force urged anyone offered GLP-1 medication in suspicious circumstances to contact police on 101.
