The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has commenced investigation of the Deekins Amoxicillin 500mg Capsule, a product reported to be substandard and unsafe for use.
The agency said it decided to investigate after receiving disturbing reports of patients experiencing severe reactions after using the capsule.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the agency said the products have been sampled for laboratory analysis, and the manufacturer, Ecomed Pharma Limited, and its marketer, Divine King Pharmaceutical Limited, are being interrogated.
