Large quantities of unlicensed medications have actually been seized by Department of Health officials throughout a search of a house in Glengormley.

A male was spoken with by department officers about illegally importing and consequently providing unlicensed impotence medicines by means of the internet.

The 47-year-old was also questioned about other medicine offences.

He will now be the topic of a report to the general public Prosecution .

The search was performed by the department's Medicines Regulatory Group.

Its senior enforcement office, Peter Moore, stated: "It is vital that we get the message throughout that unlicensed medicines can be harmful.

"These kinds of products being offered, typically online, have undergone no quality control and there can be no warranty about their security.

"You simply do not understand what you are taking or the conditions these items were made in. More significantly, you do not understand the result drugs like this might have on your health."
