NAFDAC delists Flagyl, Artemether-Lumefantrine, 99 other drugs from circulation.
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it has delisted 101 drugs from circulation in Nigeria.
In a statement on Tuesday, the agency said the affected products are no longer permitted for manufacturing, importation, exportation, distribution, advertisement, sale, or use in the country.
NAFDAC explained that some of the products were withdrawn voluntarily at the request of market authorisation holders, while others were suspended or outrightly cancelled by the agency.
A suspension, it said, applies when the conditions under which a registration licence was issued are no longer met, while a cancellation occurs when the agency revokes a product’s licence.
Popular medicines on the list
The delisted products cut across a wide range of medicines and health items — from antimalarials and cough treatments to vaccines, insulin and growth-hormone injectables, diabetes medicines, inhalers, and eye drops.
Some widely used medicines are on the list, including:
Flagyl suspension and tablets, used to treat diarrhoea
Penicillin G Sodium Sandoz, prescribed for bacterial infections
