Health Canada has seized unauthorized injectable peptides drugs, along with unauthorized bodybuilding drugs , sold online by Prime Research as they may pose serious health risks. At Health Canada's request, the company has stopped advertising and selling unauthorized health products, including taking down its website. Peptide drugs affect the body’s functions and injectable peptides are regulated as prescription drugs in Canada. Health Canada has not authorized any of the products sold on Prime Research’s website, which means they have not been assessed for safety, efficacy and quality and it is illegal to sell them in Canada. Prescription drugs should only be used under the care of a health care professional because they are used to treat specific conditions and may cause serious side effects. Unauthorized injectable drugs may pose serious health risks.
