Ammon News - The Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA) has shut down an unlicensed cosmetic clinic operating inside a gym at a commercial complex in Amman as part of an intensified inspection campaign targeting gyms and fitness centers.

In a statement issued Tuesday, the JFDA reported finding medicines, injections, medical supplies, and intravenous solutions inside the unlicensed clinic. Seized items included unapproved filler and Botox injections, injectable medications used for weight loss, expired medicines, blood collection tubes, and syringes of unknown origin containing unidentified substances. Inspectors also found a facial cleansing device.

The JFDA stressed that gyms and fitness centers are not licensed healthcare facilities and are therefore not authorized to perform medical procedures or administer medicines, injections, or intravenous solutions. It warned against obtaining medicines and injections, particularly those used for weight loss or cosmetic purposes, from unlicensed providers or sources.

The administration urged the public to report complaints, inquiries, or observations through its official complaints channels, including WhatsApp at 0795632000 or the toll-free complaints line at 117114.

The JFDA noted that the seizure was part of targeted inspection operations aimed at detecting unlicensed health practices and combating the illegal distribution and use of medicines, injections, and medical supplies in gyms and fitness centers.
