No wonder kidney issues have been on the rise

There is panic in the medical circles in Nigeria, following a report that the European Union (EU) has banned 42 popular anti-malaria drugs which are still being sold in Nigeria.

According to the list currently in circulation in the country, the drugs are considered dangerous and linked to cause of kidney failure, hence the ban.

A renowned medical practitioner and proprietor of hospitals in Lagos, who craved anonymity, said though there was no official communication from the authorities to relevant bodies in the field, the issue was generating serious concern among medical practitioners in the country. He based his feer on the fact that the drugs are still being sold across the country.

“It was a big shock when we read some messages on the doctors’ forum. The authenticity is still being queried,” he said.

Government agencies’ National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Congrol (NAFDAC) and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), had waged ceaseless war on the influx of fake and substandard items, including drugs into the country.

A breakdown of the list of the banned drugs by the EU included oral suspension and tables, as well as capsules for children and adults.

Most of the drugs, which are very popular and in common in the country, are easily obtained across the counter in Nigeria, with or without requisite prescription by appropriate medical personnel.

The list is particularly curious because it contains drugs manufactured by reputable pharmaceutical firms across the world.

According to the circulated report, it was necessary for EU countries not to stock “any drug that contains any of these substances: Plasmotrin; Artequin; Co-arinate; Arco; Artedar; Artecon and Dialquin.”

NAFDAC Director of Special Duties, Alhaji Abubakar Jimoh, said the agency was already taking necessary steps to create public awareness for World Health Organisation (WHO) approved drugs.

“We have an approved government list of malaria drugs. The list is predicated on the WHO list. It is in tandem with the WHO recommendation. We have stopped the use of these medicines in Nigeria. They are mono-therapies. Nobody should even go near them and that is what we have been clamouring for that people should stop using these mono-therapy long time ago.

“We are contemplating publishing the list of approved anti-malaria drugs so that it can be a document for members of the public. Also, we will put approved list on NAFDAC web page so that it can be used also for comparison. Of course, not everyone knows what mono-therapy is, or combined drugs for malaria,” he stated.

Abubakar said the regulation of antimalarial that should be sold for malaria was over seven years. “The rule is not use these drugs because they no longer help to treat malaria. That is why we are using combined therapy to ensure that we can eliminate malaria in Nigeria.”

Abubakar warned that the malaria drugs were not even supposed on be on shelves.

The president of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Professor Mike Ogirima, also confirmed the delisting of those drugs by EU countries.

He said: “It is true. The current recommended treatment for malaria is combination of two drugs to reduce resistance. These agents banned are mono-therapies. The decision by NAFDAC to ban these agents is in order.”

Okay. Let's hope this gets to front page, even if its not a Nigerian list, it is educating.

The mod in the health section should please move this to fp
It may save someone somewhere.

FALSE!! FALSE!!!! FALSE!!!!!!!!!

Pls everyone should disregard OP's post. IT is largely false.

by the way, has tribune suddenly become one those jobless bloggers? how can such a poorly researched, shitty article be found on their platform? surely they should have a health editor who would have gone through??

Well, for the sake of the less informed:

Firstly, THERE's NO SUCH 'list of BANNED ANTIMALARIAL by EU'. This is simple common sense. why should EU be so interested in a disease that affects less than 1% of their population?? Itz like saying AU bans drug used for cystic fibrosis. And just for the records, EU CANNOT impose such a ban.

The only antimalarial I'm aware of a ban in the UK (not EU) is mefloquine, due to its alleged association with anxiety and neuropsychiatric conditions.

Secondly, It IS true that some of those drugs are being discouraged by WHO, but its due to their widespread use as artesunate monotherapies, which contribute to growing resistance. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KIDNEY FAILURE PLSSSS!!!!!
http://www.who.int/malaria/areas/treatment/withdrawal_of_oral_artemisinin_based_monotherapies/en/

Its instructive to note that aretsunate is a major component of the ACTs currently approved for malaria treatment. eg coartem, lumaterm, etc. If indeed it were linked to kidney failure, I'm sure we'll all be dead by now.

Halfan though effective is discouraged due to its untoward effect on the heart.

Lastly, there's no 'panic in medical forum', yes, I know that.

Just to reiterate, those drugs listed on OP's post are indeed not encouraged, but its due to risks of increasing resistance due to monotherapy, in the case of aretesunate, or due to heart issues (halfan). Pls nothing like kidney failure here.

thanks

This thread should either be modified or taken down by the op. it obviously shows that you have suboptimal medical information. The aforementioned drugs, when used singly increases the possibility of resistance. hence, combination therapy with the use of ACT, artesunate/fansidar is currently being advised for uncomplicated malaria.

@ Plendil & Drkay, pls check the heading. I am not a Dr nor in business related to health. I equally did not author it.

Just as the recent judgement delivered by a Nigerian Court which was based on the destruction of exported Coke and Fanta in Britain for being harmful, the post is just a list of malaria treatment drugs that have been removed from the European markets.

Pls kindly confirm if those drugs are still on sale there.

Those drugs were never on sale there because people don't have malaria there. Malaria drugs are only sold over the counter in malaria endemic regions.

If you have malaria abroad its faster for your relatives to send you malaria medicine by DHL than for you to acquire the drug through their medical system.

I'm ashamed of our senate for wasting sitting allowance on such unsubstantiated allegations. Their personal assistants cannot do simple google research to see that this rumor has already been refuted in Ghana?

just listen to what the doctors @drkay and @plendil have said, alright? And it's time we stopped voting semi-literates into political positions.
