Dr. Liu Zhefeng, Chief R&D Consultant and Managing Director of WhiteHeron Pharmaceutical, recently shared his insights on counterfeit drug risks in an interview with Malaysia’s China Press. He emphasized that counterfeit medications, particularly those for sexual enhancement and weight loss, often contain illegal substances such as steroids, posing significant health risks. Fraudsters even misuse well-known pharmaceutical brands to gain consumer trust, delaying proper treatment and potentially worsening health conditions.

Dr. Liu urged consumers to be vigilant, check packaging and authenticity labels, and report suspicious products to the health authorities.
