Irish cancer patients paid up to €50,000 for unauthorised treatments advertised on social media

Cancer patients in Ireland have reportedly paid up to €50,000 for unauthorized treatments that were unlawfully marketed on social media. The medicinal watchdog discovered a website offering advanced therapy medicinal products without proper authorization. This alarming trend highlights the risks patients face when seeking alternative treatments, especially when those treatments are not regulated. It underscores the importance of stringent oversight to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation and potentially harmful, unverified therapies.
