Three Sharjah Individuals Accused Over Illegal Sale of Mounjaro Injections

Sharjah Misdemeanour Court is hearing a case against two individuals accused of endangering public health by selling Mounjaro injections — used for diabetes and weight-loss treatment —without the required licences, alongside a third defendant charged with carrying out financial activities without authorisation.

According to case details, police identified a social media account advertising the sale of Mounjaro injections through online promotions, despite the medicine being restricted to prescription-only use. Authorities subsequently launched an investigation and traced the account, leading to the arrest of two suspects allegedly involved in the illegal sale of medicines.

Further inquiries resulted in the arrest of a third individual accused of conducting money transfer operations connected to the activity without obtaining the necessary legal licence.

During court proceedings, prosecutors charged the first two defendants with practising pharmacy services without a licence and endangering lives by distributing unapproved medications. The third defendant faces charges related to unlicensed financial activity.

All three defendants denied the allegations. The court has adjourned the case and will issue its verdict at a later date.
