The Committee for the Development of Competition and Consumer Protection of Uzbekistan has issued a warning to citizens about the need to exercise caution when purchasing dietary supplements (BADS). It has recently come to light that some companies have begun registering medicinal products as dietary supplements and food additives to bypass the stricter requirements for the registration of pharmaceutical products.
This practice allows manufacturers to avoid the complex procedures necessary for introducing new drugs to the market, raising serious concerns about the safety and quality of such products. In response, the Committee, together with authorized bodies, is developing proposals for amendments and additions to regulatory legal acts aimed at addressing these systemic issues and holding unscrupulous manufacturers accountable.
Consumers are advised to be especially vigilant when selecting dietary supplements and to carefully review product information before use.
