South Africa is moving to tighten rules around compounded medicines, including popular weight-loss treatments. This is amid concerns over patient safety and the risk of counterfeit products. Regulators are developing clearer guidelines on what pharmacies can legally compound. Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa has mandated a

This task force held its first engagement yesterday, where they warned the public that illegal distribution networks and online sales are creating new challenges for regulators, healthcare professionals and law enforcement.
