Rosiglitazone found in anti-diabetic drug banned in India

Pune, India

09 Oct, 2010

Doctors have asked diabetes patients to stop using medicine that contains rosiglitazone. The government has now officially banned this anti-diabetic drug, though the controversy about its side effects had erupted two years ago. The anti-diabetic drug was banned by the European Medicines Agency last month for its adverse reactions. The US FDA had restricted its use. The Drug Controller General of India has now banned the use of the drug in India. The drug that is sold as Rosicon, Reglit, Windia, Windamet, Enselin, Rezult and even combination form of Rosicon G in India was sparingly used. The use of anti-diabetic drugs containing rosiglitazone formulation had dwindled since the last two years due to reports of its caedio-vascular-related side effects.

Manufacturers should be held responsible for drug quality'

THE HINDU DATE:- 29/9/2010

---

Madikeri: Chemists and druggists sell medicines prescribed by doctors and cannot be held responsible for the quality of the drugs supplied by manufacturers, A.K. Jeevan, president of the Kodagu Chemists and Druggists Association, said.
He was addressing presspersons here on Tuesday. Mr. Jeevan's reference came in the wake of the recent deaths of three patients allegedly due to drug reactions. Two of them died at the district hospital here after they were brought from the Sunticoppa primary health centre and one at the Kushalnagar hospital. He also referred to the incident in which an irate crowd had thrown stones at a medical shop in Kushalnagar from where the ‘Rantac' injection was bought as per the prescription of the doctor at the hospital
