Neosine Forte

GIF decision: Advertising suspension

What does this decision mean?

  • Wstrzymanie reklam — The decision suspends advertising activities — the product itself remains available.

The advertisement is misleading, suggesting that Neosine Forte tablets are effective against COVID-19 coronavirus infections, can be used in prevention and treatment of these infections, and unethically exploits fear associated with the epidemic situation. Potential effects: lack of effective treatment, delay of appropriate therapy, worsening of the disease.
