The Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) fined the pharmaceutical company Gledfarm LTD (Kyiv) UAH 5.421 million for providing false information about the dietary supplement Sakhnil. According to the AMCU, the information in question claimed that the dietary supplement helps normalize high blood sugar levels and improve carbohydrate metabolism, metabolism, and reproductive function.
The AMCU noted that Gledfarm LTD, while the committee was still conducting its control measures, partially changed the packaging of the dietary supplement Sakhnil, withdrew from circulation the packaging on which the disputed properties were indicated, and also appealed to pharmacies (pharmacy chains) with a request to remove this dietary supplement in this form.
At the same time, the company continued to sell the dietary supplement “Sakhnil” in packaging with the information: “helps improve carbohydrate metabolism,” which is also classified as a violation.
The Ministry of Health of Ukraine, for its part, reported that the above properties are characteristic of medicinal products, not dietary supplements.
Gledfarm LDT LLC is engaged in the wholesale trade and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. The company’s production facility, certified to GMP standards, is located in Sumy. In 2025, the company opened a logistics and production complex in the Kyiv region.
The ultimate beneficiary of the company is Radživ Gupta, co-owner of the pharmaceutical company Kusum Farm.
