Activive - regulatory update

A few months ago The ME Association started receiving queries about the medicinal claims being made for a product called Activive that was being sold over the internet.

As there is no published evidence from independent clinical trials to show that this product is of any benefit in ME/CFS I expressed my concerns to the government's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

A reply has been received today which states that '..we do not undertake to inform complainants of the action we take, nor of the outcome, however in this case this particular website no longer exists.".

Hon Medical Adviser, The ME Association
