The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has blacklisted an Indian company for allegedly manufacturing falsified drugs for a pharmaceutical company located in Lagos.
According to the agency, the company illegally manufactured variations of ciprofloxacin tablets, instead of the approved formulation for export to Nigeria.
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Moji Adeyeye, who made the announcement in a statement yesterday, said the organisation had banned the importation of all drugs manufactured by the Indian company.
She said that in view of the unprofessionalA practice, all products manufactured by the Indian company will not be allowed into Nigeria with immediate effect, noting that the variation in the formulation of the drugs which may impact the quality and shelf-life, was not approved by NAFDAC before the changes were made.
