More issues with Indian manufactured medicines, MFDA issues caution

Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA) has issued another public advisory following an alert by India's main drug regulator CDSCO highlighting quality issues with 16 medications.

MFDA said they have conducted an evaluation to confirm whether any of the medications on the list were imported into the country. While none of the medicines were found to have been brought into the country via official channels, the Authority urges public caution. They highlighted that India is frequented by Maldivians for medical treatment and some bring in medications for their personal use.
