Abstract

The circulation of unauthorized medications poses a threat to public health and safety. This is because these medications are produced or sold without medical examination or supervision to ensure their safety, thus posing health risks to individuals. The harm caused by these medications varies; it may be minor in some cases, such as the inability to achieve the desired effect from the drug, while in others it can lead to serious harm, such as poisoning, and in many cases, even death. In short, the spread of these medications undermines confidence in public health institutions, thereby disrupting the healthcare system. Dealing in this type of medication is a violation of drug regulations and therefore warrants legal accountability.
