It is well!

Under Tinubu, Nigeria has become a dumping ground for all kinds of expired drugs across the globe.

Indeed

Una wey dey too take antibiotics, sha beware of antimicrobial resistance. It's deadlier because you can put the population at risk. Any small sex, you rush to buy beecham ampiclox, any small thing you take flagyl. Make una dey take things easy fah. E get many things wey dey doctor hand wey una still dey take play.

Relax, politics apart. This can happen anywhere, you should just be thankful that the manufacturer raises alarm immediately. ECOMED is one the best pharma company in the country. So why must you blame a president for the negligence and unprofessionalism made by a certain people?

E sure me say you go blame Tinubu if your preek no rise for early morning

Chemist people go see this news still sell that particular batch finish, them no dey ever get strength to return wetin dey dn buy. Bunch of wicked souls

Am just drinking amoxicillin now self.

We really need to open our eyes!

This batch of the product must have circulated far beyond control since every tom,d1ck and harry sells drugs in the country without regulation!

Many of them operating patent medicine stores would likely not know about this recall. The implication is that they'll continue to sell this problematic batch to unsuspecting Nigerians thereby causing more public health problems!
Can y'all now see why some of us advocate for more strict regulation of the pharmaceutical distribution?

Until the day you or your loved ones suffer problems associated with drugs, you'll not understand the need for stricter control of medicines in this country.

Ok. noted.

Some of you are challenged mentally. How did a batch of antibiotics produced in Ogun state by a Nigerian pharmaceutical company for "dumping" in your book. What has that got to do with Tinubu.

Thanks and God bless you.

Nigeria was already a dumping ground for fake and adulterated products, that is why some legitimate producers left in the first place.

This particular antibiotics have killed so many people and so many are in coma as we speak.
May God have mercy on us

I disagree. Nigeria has always, always been a dumping ground for 'all things negative'.

Could it be what what is giving me this stomach pain and discomfort since yesterday. Hope this guy has not given me a a bad amoxicillin because of ordinary sore throat? God have mercy on your children

Skydivine:

Did you read the article?

Many people won't read this press release, hence might end up buying the bad batch from a chemist shop somewhere. However, if they get a prescription from a medical professional the chances of buying the bad batch is closer to zero. That is my thought.
