Just as it warns against counterfeit Tandak injection, NAFDAC has also recalled a children's cough syrup after its laboratory analysis showed it contains toxic components.The agency warned Nigeria ns, particularly healthcare providers, against using the counterfeit"TANDAK injection 1.5g powder and water for injection," saying the counterfeit is currently being sold to the unsuspecting public.
NAFDAC advised against self-prescribing"Ceftriaxone+Sulbactam 1000mg/500mg Injection," noting that it"should only be administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional."Just as it warns against the use of counterfeit Tandak injection, NAFDAC has also recalled a children's cough syrup after its laboratory analysis showed that the drug contains toxic components.
The Benylin Paediatrics syrup, according to NAFDAC, was found to cause acute oral toxicity in laboratory animals. "Diethylene glycol is toxic to humans when consumed and can prove fatal. Toxic effects can include abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, inability to pass urine, headache, altered mental state, and acute kidney injury which may lead to death."In response to these discoveries, NAFDAC has instructed anyone in possession of the TANDAK 1.5g injection or the Benylin Paediatrics syrup to discontinue the sale or use and submit stock to the nearest NAFDAC office.
"If you witness any adverse reaction/event after the use of this product in any children, you are advised to direct such patients for immediate medical attention from a qualified healthcare professional," NAFDAC urged.
