FDA: Coartem, Procold, Zentel among 72 unregistered drugs

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has named Coartem, Procold, Zentel and Amodiaquine Suspension as some of the unregistered drugs shipped into the country.

This forms part of a list of 72 drugs the FDA said were imported into the country between 2012 and 2013, without authorisation.

Officials of the FDA revealed this when they met the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of Parliament with regards to their operations on Monday.

The drugs listed include medication used for treatment of malaria, flu and other ailments commonly recorded in various health facilities across the country.
