Selmedica

Selmedica is a Washington, D.C., corporation[1] and an FDA-registered drug and dietary supplement manufacturer.[2]

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning letter to Selmedica in 2005 regarding its marketing practices.[3]

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) reported receiving 48 inquiries about Selmedica in the early 2000s, all but one of which it marked as settled in 2005.[4]

On March 24, 2008, Selmedica CEO Perry Belcher was arrested on charges of computer fraud exceeding $10,000, imitating a licensed professional, and deceptive business practices.[5] Officials in Shelby County, Tennessee, charged that he fabricated testimonials from nonexistent doctors, fraudulently claimed FDA approval for his products, and engaged in other deceptive promotional activities.[6][7] Belcher pleaded guilty in September 2008, receiving a 10-year suspended sentence and agreeing to forfeit approximately $1 million in assets.[8]
