ACCRA — The Food and Drugs Authority has warned pharmacies and Over-The-Counter sellers against operating unauthorised treatment centres.
The warning is a reminder that pharmacies and OTC sellers must work within the limits of their licences and must not turn their shops into treatment centres without authorisation.
What the FDA Is Warning Against
The FDA is warning against the operation of treatment centres that have not been authorised.
Pharmacies and OTC sellers are expected to follow the rules governing their operations and to refer cases that require treatment to the appropriate health facilities.
Why It Matters
Treatment centres require the right staff, equipment and approvals to keep patients safe.
Operating without authorisation puts patients at risk and can lead to wrong treatment, delayed care and other serious health problems.
Howedey Insight: The warning is about safety and boundaries. Selling medicine is not the same as running a treatment centre, and the FDA is drawing that line clearly.
