Three arrested for allegedly practising medicine without a licence at Bioscor Hong Kong clinic in Central
Hong Kong police have arrested three people for allegedly practising medicine without a licence at a Central cosmetic clinic after two women suffered from septic shock following anti-ageing intravenous injections.
The women, both 57, were hospitalised after undergoing infusion treatments at a clinic named Bioscor Hong Kong in Crawford House on Queen’s Road Central, the Department of Health said on Thursday.
The women reportedly received infusions containing nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a compound marketed for anti-ageing benefits.
“Both women developed chills shortly after the infusion, followed by fever and vomiting,” the department said.
