Four companies amended their advertising following MHRA action on complaints to ensure that prescription only medicines are not promoted to the public. These companies are:
- Donna Small Medical Aesthetic Practitioner
- Essence Medical Cosmetic Clinic, Glasgow
- SunKissed Tanning Limited, Burton on Trent
- The Aesthetics Clinic, Newmarket
The list relates to specific advertising action taken on a particular date and is no endorsement of the ongoing practices of the clinic.
