Solon seeks probe on fake antibiotics
A lawmaker proposed an investigation on the proliferation of a counterfeit antibiotic drug that may cause harm to people’s health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released a warning about the fake Klarid Clarithromycin being sold in the market. In its advisory, FDA confirmed that one of the variants of the antibiotic Clarithromycin 250 mg/5 mL is a counterfeit drug after pharmaceutical firm Abbott Laboratories studied it and compared it with other registered drugs.
Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo filed House Resolution 1990, to direct the Committees on Dangerous Drugs and Health to conduct an inquiry into the recent warning.
