Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s National Medicine Regulatory Authority (ANARME) has incinerated, in Maputo city, over 10,000 inappropriate units of medicines.<\/p>\n

ANARME representative Ricardo Afonso told reporters that the medicine in question was imported from India and includes azithromycin, which is used for diseases caused by bacteria, such as intestinal infections and gonorrhea.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe intercepted a load of medicines that were proved to be of poor quality due to the low content of active ingredients. In order to protect public health, ANARME ordered the immediate withdrawal from the market and the appropriate incineration\u201d, said Afonso.<\/p>\n

According to Afonso, the reason for incineration of this medicine has to do with the fact that it lacks the quality needed to treat illnesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe withdrawal is really to ensure that there is no antimicrobial resistance, because when a tablet with a low content of the active ingredient is consumed, it won\u2019t be able to produce the expected results and the product you take afterwards probably won\u2019t have the desired effect either\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n

Afonso did not reveal who was responsible for the import of this medicine, but he revealed that it was about to be sold in private pharmacies.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never in pharmacies, and it was never distributed\u201d, he said. \u201cIt was still with the supplier\u201d.<\/p>\n
