The Risks of Unregistered Drugs

Using unregistered drugs can be very dangerous. These products have not been tested and approved by the FDA, meaning their safety and effectiveness are unknown. Unregistered drugs can contain harmful ingredients, cause serious side effects, or interact badly with other medications.

Consumers need to be cautious when buying health and beauty products online. Always check if the product is approved by the relevant health authorities. If a product promises quick and dramatic results, it might be too good to be true.

The Role of Influencers

Social media influencers have a significant impact on their followers. Many people trust their recommendations and buy products based on their endorsements. However, influencers need to be responsible and ensure that the products they promote are safe and legal.

Fella Makafui’s arrest serves as a reminder to influencers and their followers about the importance of promoting and using safe products. Influencers should work with reputable brands and verify the safety of the products they endorse.
