The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration, NAFDAC, has debunked the alleged spread of Low-Quality Paracetamol in Nigeria.
NAFDAC’s media consultant, Sayo Akinola, clarified this in a statement on Monday saying that there is no evidence of the circulation of low quality paracetamol in the country and further assured the public of it’s attentiveness in protecting the health of the Nation.
“We do a yearly post-marketing survey of medicines to ensure that the quality and safety are maintained. Where there is a deviation from this, that is, when we find any regulated product to be substandard or falsified, NAFDAC regularly issues public alerts or recalls.
“NAFDAC wishes to reassure the public that the agency is very vigilant in safeguarding the Nation’s health”, he stated.
