New Jersey’s Star-Ledger reports that the FDA on Tuesday ordered “Glenmark Generics to stop selling unapproved nitroglycerin tablets for relief from chest pain.” The unapproved drugs “are different from approved nitroglycerin tablets in some ways, such as formulation and labeling, but the FDA said it has seen quality and efficacy problems with the unapproved versions.” The FDA also “advised consumers that Pfizer sells a version of the product that has been approved by regulators.” Kotec Inc. of Arizona also received a warning.
According to the Los Angeles Times’ “Booster Shots” blog, the FDA gave the two drugmakers “90 days to stop making and selling nitroglycerin tablets for use by heart patients and 180 days to stop shipping those they have made.” Reuters also covers the story.
There is great danger in selling unapproved drugs. Drug companies must always put the safety of people over profits. If they don’t, their greed will seriously injure and even kill Americans.
Before taking any medication, be sure to consult with your doctor, who is obligated to provide you with all risks and benefits of the drug before prescribing the medication.
