The Ministry of Health and Prevention in Dubai has issued warnings against the use of six counterfeit pharmaceutical products. These contain undisclosed substances that could put the health of some people at risk.

Specifically, the substances in these products could lead to an acute reduction in a person’s blood pressure. These also pose a risk to people who are suffering from diabetes, heart conditions, and obesity. In particular, those who take medications that contain nitrate are at a greater risk.

The health ministry has issued warnings on six counterfeit medical products.
