In July 2019, the yellow pages of the Internet broke the news about the illegal use of ketamine therapy by the Expio Center. Without understanding the essence of the issue, unscrupulous journalists rushed to label us as "fraudsters", "fake medical center", etc., using an erroneous publication of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control.
In this regard, we consider it necessary to state the following.
The publication of the State Administration of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control was made due to incomplete information on our websites. The EXPIO Center is a service mark (analogous to a trademark), and the legal entity that was issued a license to conduct business activities in the field of drug trafficking is the sole proprietor St. L. Matrenytskyi.
Although the use of a trademark or service mark other than the name of a legal entity is a standard business practice, the reflection of this fact on our websites would have avoided misunderstandings, since when the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control checked the websites, they did not find the Expert Center in the register of licensees.
We have now corrected this deficiency. The license can be checked online using the advanced search in the license database of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control by entering Matrenytskyi's name in the field "Name of the business entity".
In January 2020, a commission of the State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control conducted a scheduled inspection of our activities, which confirmed the legality and correctness of the use of ketamine in our medical practice (inspection report No. 17/1610 of 21.01.20).
