Former doctor Raghbir Singh
pleaded guilty in a UK Southwark
Crown Court to selling an
unauthorised medicine and for
selling prescription-only medicines
without a valid prescription, the
Medicines and Healthcare products

The 67-year-old retiree was
sentenced to four months in prison,
suspended for 18 months, with two
months under a curfew where he
is not allowed out between 8pm
and 7am.
All of the medicines he supplied
were purchased through
unregulated sources and were
for use in the treatment of male
pattern baldness.
MHRA head of enforcement

sources can put you at serious risk
as you have no idea what you are
getting and how it will affect you.”The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 21 Dec 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 21 Dec 15
