Dangers of the gray market for doctors and patients
Risks of counterfeit or fraudulent injectable products
In recent months, multiple imitation products have been detected in the illegal distribution market.
Key Characteristics:
- Originated from fictitious entities that do not respond to inquiries.
- Sold online to any pseudo-medical professional or individual.
- Lack real registration confirming the authenticity of the manufacturing laboratory.
- Do not have the necessary permits to be legally marketed in Mexico.
- Lack the sanitary registration designated by COFEPRIS.
Main Risks for Patients:
- Contamination and Adulteration: Counterfeit products may be contaminated with bacteria, viruses, or toxic substances due to the absence of proper quality control and manufacturing procedures, leading to severe infections and adverse reactions.
- Ineffective Treatment: Fake products may lack the necessary active ingredients or contain incorrect dosages, resulting in ineffective treatments and worsening medical conditions.
- Allergic Reactions: The composition of counterfeit products is unknown and unregulated, increasing the risk of severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening.
- Long-Term Complications: Fake products can cause unexpected side effects and long-term complications, including tissue damage, permanent scarring, and other health issues.
- Lack of Medical Support and Warranty: Patients using counterfeit products have no access to medical support, quality guarantees, or legal recourse in case of complications, leaving them vulnerable and unprotected.
"We have received patients reporting a lack of effect or adverse reactions after being injected by pseudo-medical professionals. Upon investigating the batch number with Odellā, we discovered it didn’t even exist, making it impossible for the brand to provide any support or guidance."
