The search was brought out by the department's Medicines Group.
Its senior enforcement office, Peter Moore, said: "It is essential that we get the message throughout that unlicensed medicines can be unsafe.
"These types of items being sold, usually online, have undergone no quality assurance and there can be no assurance about their security.
"You simply do not understand what you are taking or the conditions these products were made in. More notably, you do not understand the impact drugs like this may have on your health."
