They are using my name in a magazine advertisment saying I endorse the product........I never did any such thing.

You would contact a civil attorney.
And check your records to see if you may have accidentally signed anything or you are in posession of anything (relating to this company or product) that says something to the effect of : "By buying our product and notifying us about it's effects, your name and likeness can be used in anyway, including, but not limited to, advertisements for the company and producut." It could even be a 'disclaimer' on their website and you clicked an "I Agree" box without reading it fully. Anyway, It gives them consent (aka permission) and is usually in the fine print.

This is the Law Society link for solicitors specialising in intellectual property law. http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/areasoflaw/view=areasoflawdetails.law?AREAOFLAW=Intellectual%20property%20law&AREAOFLAWID=44
By the way, are you sure it's your name? It could be a namesake! I know I have a lot of those!

Unless you are a high profile person or celebrity, then you are out of luck!
