Now we are at the mercy of local manufacturer that will hike the price again.

Banning importations has never favored Nigerians in anyways.

We are to greedy for that.

How long can it stay at home before it start to expire?
I have some packs since last year october but afraid to swallow it.

What about flagy?

Toktee:
I will go buy like twenty rolls now for safe keeping before the useless policy kick in.

Lithiumite:
This is really good from the tinubu govt, nigerias pharmaceutical industry needs to be protected we have the capacity for producing world class drugs for our consumption and export.

I am also glad rice has also been removed from the import prohibition list,this will bring down the price for the common man and if rice prices go down,other commodities will also follow.

Nonsense. You easily forget what happened with the ban on importation of rice, you are praising this policy...world class drugs you say?..
😂😂😂😂😂

Absolutely! It’s a fantastic opportunity to boost local businesses and support Nigerian industries. A simple, straightforward boost for everyone.

all apc's led policies are always dead on arrival...

banning few stuffs we are leveraging on??

paracetamol and other banned stuffs will be out of the reach of common man..very soon

What if our Made in Nigeria is banned in other countries as well??

Just making more money for the rich, while the poor are getting poorer..

Tinubu-APC is a plague...
APC supporters are irredeemable
APC supporters are selfish and parochial minded..
We shall survive...

Sheuns:
We will soon start buying paracetamol for 2000 naira a sachet.

Clueless government. No electricity for industry to strive.

Good development, expect more. Patronize indigenous products

christejames:
This directive is better...


At least, we have some of the best PCM and metro manufacturing companies in the continent.


Emzor is there, Cinnamon Drugs, Juhel, Michelle Laboratory, AC Drug, Chemiron are some great brands here.

Absolutely correct, majority of the paracetamol consumed are manufactured locally.
I don't think I have taken a foreign manufactured paracetamol in a very long time.

Don't worry. Paracetamol will soon hit 5000k per sachet.

Trust Nigerians and extortion

I will take the president serious,if he bans foreign medical trips for politicians and their families, because this policy will only make paracetamol out of reach from the poor masses.

Something must be wrong with Tinubu and his habdlers/decision makers, is the local production of these drugs sustainable, subsistence and not exported because most of the paracetamol in the West African blog is produced in Nigeria. This policy might be shooting Nigeria's health balance further down.You can implement a stricter control for imports to control fakes but ourright ban is definitely going to be counter productive. More people will further resort to agbo because price of paracetamol would shoot up

From scarcity of food to scarcity of drugs...
These people want to kpai Nigerians kpata kpata..

Sheuns:

You won't have to. Most of our indigenous pharma companies: M&B, Emzor, Fidson, SKG Pharma and others are already manufacturing PCM tablet/syrups in Nigeria. This policy is long overdue

Nigeria that we always try shortcut to make more gain.. the policy is good but monitoring for compliance and quality assurance will Nafdac be able to work up to that ..make people no dey take chalk as paracetamol 😂😂

What do you think about this move? Can local manufacturers meet the demand, or should there be a phased approach?

Endinjustice:
Ban importation of drugs and basic foods for poor Nigerians, travel abroad for medical reasons. Country of particular concern.

You need to understand all the aforementioned drugs are being produced/manufactured in Nigeria by our indigenous Pharm companies. This policy is just to encourage them and improve local companies so as to make them competitive.

No sir, it's for sell not personal used.

And to exploit us since we are going to monopolized them just the way rice producer are exploiting us today.

funny people at the helm of affairs , almost if not all of these products were already manufactured in the country .

Pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria are paying the federal govt huge money to ban foreign companies...


This ban is a bad idea

Tinubu govt is anti people.

90% of the information coming from that Aso Rock are implementations that are against or anti-people.


Only working backward govt

Nawaoh

😂😂😂😂😂

This will be different, We really need to protect our local industries......we already have already established industrial capacity in our pharmaceutical sector,there are already established companies su h as emzor,pfizer,Roche,fidson,may &baker and many others......this is different from the rice misadventure that we were only trying to reinvent the wheel and didn't have sufficient capacity for producing.

Gotocourt:
They are manufactured locally, local content ahead ahead.

N yet d price will b like foreign medicine

Yampotatocarrot:
Yeah, that's if it doesn't become the case of rice also, where after ban, the price of the locally produced commodity skyrocketed.

This is different from the rice misadventure, we already have established industrial capacity to produce these drugs in the country and not like the opaque rice value chain where we were just reinventing the wheel .....our local industries need protection against foreign goods.....they will create jobs and more revenue for govt.

JuanDeDios:
So you want drug imports banned but rice imports allowed. You can't see that paracetamol is as critical to survival as rice. Ok o.

It's different, we already have established industrial capacity in the production of drugs unlike rice which we didn't have.

Are there sustainable and enough local production to cater for the demands?... Cos these are basic and fundamental modern medicine

Nigerians already buying the local ones. This ban is meant to create artificial scarcity and price increase.

Can we also ban foreign medical trips? After all UCH is there, OAUTH, LUTH, UBTH, UPTH are some great teaching hospitals in the country. No need going to France, UK or Saudi for medical care

[ M&B paracetamol locally made or imported?[/quote]M%B paracetamol is locally made in Lagos and some other States.

Lame. Buhari used this same lame point when he banned importation of rice even when farmers can't go to farm due high level of insecurity.

By the time you start buying metronidazole for 3000naira per sachet, your eyes go clear. If Nigerian pharmaceutical industries has the capacity since they would have shown it.

It’s a welcome development..
