The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control, NAFDAC, has released the names of withdrawn, suspended and cancelled
products in Nigeria.
NAFDAC, in a post via their website on Tuesday, said the
products are no longer permitted for manufacture, importation, exportation,
distribution, advertisement, sale and use within Nigeria.
DAILY POST reports that the product includes
Artemether/Lumefantrine 40mg/240mg Tablets, Amaryl M SR Tablets, Abacavir
Sulfate/Lamivudine Dispersible Tablets 60mg/30mg, Aprovasc 150mg/5mg tablets,
ASAQ(Artesunate amodiaquine Winthrop) 100mg/270mg Tablets, Betopic Eye drop,
Efavirenz 600mg Tablets and Flagyl Suspension.
Others are Iliadin Adult 0.05% Metered Nose Spray, Invanz 1g
Injections and Invega (Paliperidone) 3mg extended release tablets.
According to the NAFDAC, the certificate of registration of
a product is said to be withdrawn when the use of the certificate of
registration of that product is discontinued upon request of the market
authorisation holder.
It added that the certificate of registration of a product
may be suspended when the conditions upon which the NAFDAC registration license
was issued are no longer met, and the agency is to decide.
This is coming less than 24 hours after NAFDAC launched a
comprehensive national strategy and roadmap aimed at eliminating industrially
produced trans-fatty acids, TFAs, from Nigeria’s food supply chain.

and cancelled products in Nigeria released by NAFDAC below:
