‘Herbal’ skin cream warning

THE state’s drug policing body has issued a warning about a product called Magicream that claims to be a herbal remedy for a wide range of skin conditions.

The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) said the product, which claims to be 100% herbal-based, contains a steroid and a substance used to treat fungal infections.

The product labelling does not list the two ingredients, rendering it an illegal medicine, according to the medicines board.
