Therefore, MFDA has advised people to be careful when buying prescribed medicines from abroad.
MFDA has also warned against the presence of brown stains in a batch of Telsarta 40 manufactured in Karachi, Pakistan.
MFDA said Telsarta is a drug that is imported to Maldives. However, they stated that they have not found the faulty batch in Maldives.
As a precautionary measure, MFDA said they will continue to inspect drugs imported into Maldives at ports with special attention.
