From September 10 to October 6, officers from ICA managed to stop five attempts at illegal importing Ivermectin.

Ivermectin is a drug that was a topic of interest after a woman allegedly became ill after taking the medication.
The buyers either did not report the products or claimed them as ‘Healthcare Products.’
The imports were not authorized by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), and ICA officers discovered them when they observed abnormalities in the scanned pictures of the shipments. Following that, the police forwarded the instances to the HSA for further examination.
