Nigeria has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for
Production of banned drugs is booming. Pls make sure that u buy drugs only

I went to see a hospital with my daughter a month ago and they nearly gave her analgin injection. I objected and they discarded the already set injection and changed it with paracetamol. That was how i got to know that even doctors still dispense banned drugs to unwary patients. We simply do not have regulations here and that is why our health sector kills more people than it cures.

Really? Google led me here.

Am aware of this but the publicity is kinda poor.

Thanks for the information

lalasticlala... come and share this 2009 info cos I still use Procold without knowing the side effects.

Whoa!
Dis is so informing. Pls hv U any other update?
Thanks anyways!
I only knew of analgin and procold, didn't know of others

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.
