The FDA has determined that several companies are marketing products that look like antimicrobial products available in Mexico. These illegal products are falsely promoted with claims to treat illnesses such as upper respiratory infections, sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis and the common cold. Consumers using the products may believe they will receive the beneficial health effects of an antimicrobial drug.
These products may or may not contain antimicrobials, and their use may cause worsening of existing illness and delayed treatment. These products are not FDA approved to treat, cure or prevent any medical conditions.
