Four companies amended their adverts after MHRA took action on complaints to ensure that unlicensed medicines and/ or prescription-only medicines (POM) are not promoted to the public. These companies are:

- GF-Hair
- Mark Blake Trichology

This listing relates to specific advertising action taken on a particular date and is no endorsement of the ongoing practices of the clinic.
