Israel's Ministry of Health has issued a warning regarding stolen injectable hyaluronic acid-based products that may be illegally sold to clinics. The ministry is concerned that several thousand packages of these products, stolen approximately one month ago from the warehouses of "AlphaMedix" and "OmegaMedix Ltd.", could enter the black market. The stolen items include specific brands like Radiesse, Stylage Special Lips Lido, Stylage XL Lido, Stylage L, Stylage M Lido, Stylage L, Stylage XXL, and Mepi.
The ministry fears these products might be distributed to aesthetic medicine clinics, cosmetic centers, and private practitioners across Israel. A key concern is that the required cold chain and storage conditions for these injectables may not have been maintained since the theft, compromising their safety and efficacy. The Ministry of Health emphasizes that using such products obtained from unauthorized sources, without proper control and adherence to instructions, can lead to severe health consequences.
Health professionals are urged to purchase these products exclusively from official suppliers. Patients are advised to verify that legal, controlled products are used during their procedures. Any suspicious sales, products of unknown origin, or adverse effects experienced after treatment should be reported to the ministry's information center, "Kol HaBriut," at *5400.
