Dr. Roni Berkowitz, Director of the Division for Enforcement and Supervision at the Ministry of Health: "These are pills that are sold illegally for the purpose of weight loss.

It is important to note that using products containing these substances is immediately life-threatening.
In addition, using medicinal substances outside of the medical prescription and in a controlled manner may harm public health."
