Licensed v Unlicensed (Black-Market) Toxins
Toxins, or anything containing Botulinum Type A toxin (Botox, Bocouture, Azzalure etc.), are classed as a medicine in the UK (United Kingdom). This means that their supply, and use, are regulated and they can only be purchased on Prescription and from a Pharmacy.
Pharmacies can only purchase Toxins from a Licensed Wholesaler or the Manufacturer themselves.
If you purchase a Toxin, or a Clinic/Practitioner offers you Toxins without a Prescription, then this sale is not legal and comes with risks, some of which are life changing.
Recent press articles have highlighted the use of unlicensed toxins in aesthetics
Did you know the use of the term ‘Unlicensed’ (commonly referred to as ‘specials’ within the Pharmaceutical Industry) when used to describe a medicine, does not necessarily mean that it is ‘not regulated.’
In fact, the use of Unlicensed medicines does play a role within healthcare and can include medicines that are licensed in other countries but not available in the UK.
For example:
So, Can Unlicensed Toxins be Used in the UK?
Unlicensed medicines can be manufactured or imported into the UK under extremely strict conditions and with oversight from the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency).
One such restriction for the importing and purchasing of unlicensed medicines in the UK is that there cannot be a licensed version already available. In the case of Toxins, there are several UK licensed products available already, therefore it would be impossible to get the authority to legally trade in an ‘unlicensed’ version.
The recent press articles referencing unlicensed toxins are referring to branded products available in other countries which are not licensed in the UK. Until these Toxins are licensed, there is a huge risk for the clinic and the end user.
Key Points In relation to the ‘Black-Market Toxins’ recently reported in National Media Outlets
While the products referenced may be legitimately traded in other countries outside the UK, until they have been approved by MHRA they are not legally approved for sale or use. Infact:
How Do You Determine if a Product is Licensed?
You can identify all licensed medicines in the UK using the following methods:
At Teleta we have both a Pharmacy Registration and a Wholesale Dealer’s License. This means that we are registered and regulated with two different authorities, the MHRA and GPhC (https://www.pharmacyregulation.org/). As a result, the company is regularly audited to ensure that our processes comply with strict UK standards.
Additionally, individuals named on the licenses have personal responsibility for compliance with the relevant regulations. This means accountability is assigned to the individuals as well as the company.
We all recognise the potential we have within this industry to positively impact people’s lives. Whether you are a Consumer, Practitioner, Manufacturer or Supplier, safety and confidence in your product always comes first.
If you have any questions relating to this article, please get in touch at support@teleta.co.uk or call 01355 204 448.
