PINATITIGIL na ng Food and Drugs Adminis­tration (FDA) ang Shopee Philippines at Lazada Philip­pines sa pagbebenta ng mga gamot tulad ng antibiotics at steroids.

Ayon sa FDA, isinilbi at ipinatupad na ng kanilang Regulatory Enforcement Unit, ang Summons with Pre­ventive Measure Order (SPMO) na nag-aatas sa Shopee at Lazada para sa agarang pagpapatigil ng online selling at offering ng mga drug product hangga’t hindi pa sila nakakakuha ng kauku­lang License to Ope­rate (LTO) mula sa FDA.

“In line with this (adv­isory), the FDA strengthens the enforcement on the on­line selling of health pro­ducts. Major online selling platforms, such as Shopee Phi­lippines and Lazada Phi­lippines, are strictly manda­ted to observe compliance in the said advisory,” pahayag ng FDA.

“The FDA, through the Regulatory Enforcement Unit, served and implemen­ted Summons with Preven­tive Measure Order (SPMO) directing Shopee Philippines and Lazada Philippines under pain of direct or indirect contempt and/or other administrative sanc­ tions, to immediately CEASE AND DESIST from further online selling and offering for sale drug products until it has secured the appro­priate License to Operate (LTO) from the FDA,” naka­saad pa sa pahayag ng FDA.

Una nang naglabas ng advisory na nagbabala sa publiko hinggil sa panganib na maaaring dulot ng inter­net sales ng mga gamot.

Nanindigan din ang FDA na ang patuloy na online selling ng mga produktong gamot ay maglalagay sa ala­nganin at panganib sa buhay ng publiko kaya pursigido silang ipatupad ang batas hinggil dito. Tiniyak naman ng FDA ang kanilang patuloy na mo­nitoring sa implemen­tas­yon ng drug regulatory system sa bansa.

Pinayuhan din ng FDA ang publiko na agad na i-re­port sa kanilang tangga­pan kung may nalalaman silang unauthorized sale o distri­busyon ng drug pro­ducts, sa report@fda.gov.ph o sa online reporting facility, na eREPORT, sa www.fda.gov.ph/ere­port, o itawag sa Center for Drug Regulation and Research sa mga numerong (02) 809-5596.
