The Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has seized some aphrodisiacs’ cartons of Oral contraceptive for women known as Postinor-2, bottles of bynillin nicotine, certain cosmetics, medical devices and Chinese herbal medicines.
According to the Authority, these 2,600 bottles of bynillin nicotine and 100 cartons of postinor 2, including substandard medications and items will be destroyed at the Adepa Landfill site, Nsawam.
The Head of Intelligence, Mr. Virgil Edward Prah-Eshun explained that these medicines seized were not registered by the Authority after importing them into the country from China.
“The seized postinor 2 came in separate consignments, the packaging material was separated from the packaging itself, an indication that the person was determined to manufacture the products here in Ghana,” he stated.
The health of citizens in the country is very important to see to the developmental drive of the nation. A sick nation is a poor nation and as Ghana yearns to work hard towards a brighter future, substandard goods and defective medication will rather be an enmity to developmental growth as it affect health and safety of citizens.
