General News of Wednesday, 6 October 2021Source: ghanaiantimes.com.ghThe Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has cautioned the public against the use of injectable glutathione promoted on social media for skin lightening and bleaching correction. She said glutathione affected the production of a pigment that gave the human skin color (melanin) and may pose the risk of skin cancer with long-term use. Mrs. Darko stated that consumers were to note that no injectable glutathione or any other injectable skin lightening agent had been approved by the FDA for use. She said the FDA did not approve products improperly manufactured and contained unknown harmful ingredients or contaminants. Mrs Darko, therefore, advised consumers to seek the help of medical professionals certified for skin conditions and avoid buying injectable medicinal products online or from unauthorized and unqualified professionals.
