Macau (MNA) – In a routine random inspection of traditional Chinese patented medicines, the Health Bureau (SS) on Monday announced that it found two batches of medicine with bacteria numbers exceeding standard regulations.
The SS has ordered local pharmacies to stop selling these two types of medicine and is urging the public to not consume any of these medicines.
Batch number PP-40-802 produced in Taiwan (pictured above left), and batch 467 produced in Hong Kong (above right).
The SS release states that in addition to random medicine sampling that is conducted, it also has a drug quality and adverse reaction notification system that doctors, teachers, pharmacists and other health professionals can use to inform health authorities about drug issues.
