Roche admitted that their actions had been in breach of the code of practice 
The issue stems from the fact that Roche sold large amounts of the weight loss medication Xenical to a private weight loss clinic which was deemed to be inappropriate. According to the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry undue influence was put on the clinic to continue buying the weight loss drug Xenical by sponsoring the building of a new clinic to the tune of £55,000.
Roche admitted that their actions had been in breach of the code of practice and accepted the ruling of the disciplinary commission. Roche has taken steps to prevent this happening again and will only be accepted back on to the board of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry after complete audit of how the company sells Xenical is conducted.
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry takes its reputation and the reputation of the British pharmaceutical industry extremely seriously and is keen to make certain that there are no breaches of rules and regulations concerning the sales of medications.
The weight loss medication Xenical is an extremely effective drug when it is used properly. Ukmedix News has seen number of cases where people are sold Xenical and do not properly know how to use it and thus the effects of the drugs are not as good as they should be. Good advice and proper usage of the medication is essential for good results when using it. For this reason in the United Kingdom Xenical is a prescription medication.
Some weight loss clinics have been known to promote the weight loss medication Xenical as a miracle weight loss cure when in fact it needs proper diet and exercise to work most effectively.
