Pharmacy is closed on suspicion of irregular sale of anabolic steroids and abortive medications in PI

A pharmacy was closed this Wednesday (11) in Parnaíba, on the coast of Piauí, after Health Surveillance found evidence of the irregular sale of special control medicines. Among the products identified are anabolic steroids, medications known as "arrebite" and abortifacients.

The closure occurred during a Health Surveillance inspection. According to the agency, the measure seeks to prevent the sale of medicines without the control required by legislation.

The case continues to be investigated. The pharmacy will remain closed until the analyzes are completed and the necessary measures are adopted by the responsible bodies.

Health Surveillance warns that the use without medical guidance and supervision of anabolic steroids, stimulants and other special control medications can cause health problems and increase the risk of adverse effects.
