A SOUTH London man found guilty of "supply and possession of substantial quantities of unlicensed medicines" was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court this week.
The arrest followed a raid by Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) investigators who seized more than 209,250 doses of unlicensed products, including erectile dysfunction medicines worth more than 471,000 (AU$80,000).
Kim-Andre Frantzen had pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months with 200 hours of unpaid work and to pay costs.
MHRA is currently running the #FakeMeds campaign to warn people against buying potentially dangerous or useless unlicensed medicines sold by illegal online suppliers.
