\"\"A San Francisco-area doctor plead guilty last week to using unapproved products she sold as genuine Botox and Juvederm, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Dr. Lindsay Clark, 45, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) by receiving and delivering misbranded drugs and misbranded and adulterated devices. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lindsay Clark, M.D., Medical Corporation, her medical practice, also plead guilty to one felony count of receiving and delivering misbranded drugs and misbranded and adulterated devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Clark specialized in procedures using injectable drugs and devices for cosmetic purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n

From 2016 through 2020, she obtained and used patients’ prescription drugs and devices that were not the subject of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licenses or approvals, and she took steps to conceal this conduct from patients, the FDA, and the authorized corporate distributor of the products. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clark further admitted that she and her practice obtained these products from outside of the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, the defendants purchased unapproved and unlicensed injectable botulinum toxin drugs and hyaluronic acid filler devices from online \u201cpharmacies\u201d outside the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"blackClark admitted that she then sold these products to patients, falsely representing the products to be the more expensive, FDA-approved products Botox and Juvederm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Clark\u2019s practice received more than $1,069,880 in connection with the sale and use of misbranded and adulterated products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHealth care professionals who dispense and administer misbranded and adulterated prescription drugs and devices of unknown origin put the health of their patients at significant risk,\u201d said Acting Special Agent in Charge Robert M. Iwanicki of the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations Los Angeles Field Office. \u201cWe will continue to pursue and bring to justice those who choose to subvert the safeguards of the legitimate drug and device regulatory regime and supply chain and jeopardize the public health.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clark and Lindsay Clark, M.D., Medical Corporation plead guilty before District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco. Sentencing is scheduled for April 7, 2023. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The case is being investigated by the FDA\u2019s Office of Criminal Investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Tartakovsky and Kaitlin Paulson for the Northern District of California and Trial Attorney Rachael Doud of the Civil Division\u2019s Consumer Protection Branch are prosecuting this case.<\/span><\/p>\n
