SA Health Products Regulatory Authority is working with the police to stop the sale of unregistered medicines
SA’s medicines regulator is working closely with the police to clamp down on illegal sales of unregistered cannabis-containing products claiming medical benefits, but has yet to successfully prosecute any companies or individuals breaking the law, according a senior official at the SA Health Products Regulatory Authority .
The penalty for selling unregistered medicines is a fine or a prison term of up to 10 years, he said. Sahpra received 21 cultivation licence applications from March to December in 2018, and had continued to receive applications in 2019, said Molewa.
