Injectable products and unauthorized prescription drugs seized from Total Health Centre in Williams Lake, B.C.; products were being administered and sold by an individual posing as a naturopathic doctor

Health Canada is advising Canadians that several injectable products and unauthorized prescription drugs were seized from Total Health Centre (177 Yorston St.) in Williams Lake, B.C., because they may pose serious health risks. The products include unauthorized progesterone creams, thyroid and L-dopa (also known as levodopa) capsules and high-dose vitamin D products. The labels of these products indicate that they contain ingredients that require a prescription to be sold in Canada. Unauthorized health products have not been approved by Health Canada, which means that they have not been assessed for safety, effectiveness and quality. Selling unauthorized health products in Canada is illegal. The seized products also include various injectable drug products. Some of the products were labelled "for physician use only". Neither the owner nor anyone who works at Total Health Centre is currently licensed to practice medicine as a medical or naturopathic doctor.
