| Canada: Unauthorized UMARY Hyaluronic Acid Dietary Supplement contains undeclared prescription drugs and may pose serious health risks: Update |
| |
Health Canada announces that testing of another version of the unauthorized UMARY-brand product, this one labelled as "UMARY USA Hyaluronic Acid", found the presence of the prescription drug dexamethasone in addition to those previously identified (diclofenac and omeprazole). None of these drugs were listed on the product label and they may pose serious health risks as consumers would be unaware they are taking them. There are no UMARY-brand products currently authorized for sale in Canada.
Consumers are advised not to use this product and consult a healthcare professional if they have used this product and have health concerns. Return the products to their local pharmacy for proper disposal.
