Egyptian Drug Authority Flags 10 Non-Compliant Social Media Advertisements

The Egyptian Drug Authority has identified 10 social media advertising posts for products that violated its advertising requirements.

The findings accompanied a new batch of regulatory notices issued by the authority’s Central Administration for Pharmaceutical Care and General Administration for the Regulation of Marketing and Advertising Materials.

The notices concern promotional material circulated through social media, placing online product advertising under regulatory scrutiny.

The brief announcement did not identify the products, the accounts responsible for the posts or the platforms on which they appeared. It also did not specify the nature of the violations or any resulting enforcement measures.
