Illegal peptides sold over social media | ABC NEWS
Dangerous, unapproved injectable peptides are being sold through social media, with the ABC easily able to buy an experimental weight-loss drug from a Facebook Marketplace dealer for $50.
Australia’s medicines regulator warns the substances can cause serious health risks, including liver damage, severe allergic reactions and inflammation. Testing also found some products contained significantly different doses than advertised.
A spokesperson for Australia Post said the sending of illicit items was prohibited, and it worked closely with law enforcement agencies, including Australian Border Force, to support detection operations.
