Naturopath used ‘contaminated’ IV solution on patients: HCCC
The health watchdog is investigating the practitioner, who also allegedly used dirty colonic irrigation devices
Health authorities are investigating after two people were hospitalised with “adverse reactions” after a naturopath administered contaminated IV infusions at a Sydney clinic.
NSW Health is assessing the risk to other patients who attended the DETOXologie clinic or consulted naturopath Fay Fain and will contact them in the coming weeks.
In a public health warning issued on Monday, the NSW Health Care Complaints Commissioner (HCCC) said Ms Fain unlawfully prescribed and administered S4 medications.
In addition, medications used by the Bondi Junction clinic were sourced overseas and had not been approved by the TGA, it wrote.
