The Ministry of Health, in coordination with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority and other relevant bodies, apprehended trainers of Arab nationalities working in gyms and sports centers for selling and promoting weight-loss drugs, hormonal medications, and unsafe peptide substances that were unregistered and unlicensed for use, and for storing them improperly.
