[]
News – BellaNaija
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has alerted Nigerians about an unregistered Gold Vision Oxytocin injection 10IU bearing a fake NAFDAC registration number.
According to NAFDAC, further investigations revealed that three other falsified products—A-tocin injection, Extocin injection, and Claxitodin injection—were also identified in 2023, all carrying the same fake registration number, A4-9566.
Using unregistered or falsified oxytocin injections poses serious health risks, including ineffective uterine contractions, postpartum haemorrhage, and even maternal death.
Be alert for products bearing the NAFDAC registration number A4-9566, which has been confirmed as falsified.
All NAFDAC zonal directors and state coordinators have been instructed to conduct surveillance and retrieve any of these falsified products if found.
