FDA blocks illegal hormone import

The Public Authority for Food and Drug Control at Jaber Customs Center thwarted an attempt to smuggle a quantity of unlicensed hormones, which included 70 injections and more than 100 pills, intended to enter the Kingdom. This seizure is part of ongoing inspection efforts, during which attempts to import 14 different types of hormones have been intercepted over the past few weeks. These hormones are prohibited from use due to serious health risks, such as heart diseases, hormonal disorders, and increased risk of infertility. The authority urges citizens to verify the licensing of products and to contact them through their official channels if there are any doubts or inquiries.
