In 2023, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) was coordinating this illegal search and seizure operation. Interpol said that it had involving almost 110,000 suspects in its search and seizure operation targeting drugs trade across 90 countries, including the 16 members of the Euclidean Union. Interpol described the seizures as a manifestation of the global surge of counterfeit and unapproved drugs available on the internet and social media, which has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. "Too many counterfeit/" anti-approved medications being sold on the web presents a challenge for the police community, he said. Interpol explained that the high demand for antibiotics, weight-loss supplements, and performance-enhancing peptide drugs is due in part to the increasing popularity of terms like " cosmetic and performance-enhancing enhancement," which create the illusion of physical presence and potential health risks for individuals. However, because of the lack of certainty about the contents of these drugs, counterfeit ones remain dangerous, even if they are legal products.

the category of drugs mentioned

The international police agencies released long into the 2023-2024_phase were talking about some的功能药品、违禁药剂和非法药物. These included anti-anxiety missile drugs, painkillers such as oxycodone, and also some heavily marketed counterfeit amino acid agents and perfumes with high demand in the global market. Some of the essential classes of illegal drugs were: psychostimulants, anti-anxiety药品、原剂药物:泛指脑部兴奋剂和抗抑郁药粉,以及皮=”abolic Madrid 和.oaminoristics。但在近年来,哪种药物最被说到 Establishing in Europe, North America, and Oceania, such as BPC-157, ipamorelin, and melanotan — synthetic hormones designed to enhance skin tone — performance-enhacing anti-aging, or cosmetic drugs started to dominate.

description of the impact

The timing of these seizures on March 30, which resulted in the death of a man, and earlier this month mentioned by health authorities in Denmark, showed how quickly the global health scene had been adapting to fake or illegal drugs being moved to the web. "It seems that in the West, the demand for painkillers has increased… and criminals are making use of the fact that they can sell fake drugs at dictated prices, and in this case, in the Netherlands, they have already gotten involved in offering fake painkillers, " Rogers, the assistant director of theInternational Criminal Police Organization said. Other newly generated Schedule II pseud °sters, such as tramadol, which are considered dangerous by the World Health Organization (WHO), have taken off in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Six months ago, the Organization had warned that counterfeit painkillers were becoming ‘reaching finger, as if to linger on the false information channels around the world. "Traಮadol is referred to as a ‘Barbie’ drug, but its use has become problematic in Europe and health agencies have warned that it may cause serious side effects, " Rogers said. "The problem is that the seller is selling these products without proper proof of their composition, which means their real value is questionable. Convertible, the seller wants to ”’
