White Oak in the USA.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to withdraw the drug “metformin hydrochloride” used in treating diabetes due to its high content of carcinogens.
She said that the company producing this drug (Marksans Pharma Limited), after the tests, “noticed that the content of NDMA in some parts exceeds the acceptable daily intake (ADI) (…) therefore, in terms of Extreme caution … “, I decided to expand the scope of the withdrawal process from the markets that it started last June to include all types and forms of this drug.
The problem with this drug is that it contains a high percentage of the substance known as N-nitrosodimethylamine, which causes cancer, although it is able to lower the level of glucose in the blood of people with type 2 diabetes.
However, the US Food and Drug Administration believes that “it may be dangerous for type 2 diabetes patients to stop taking metformin without first speaking to a health care professional,” according to the American newspaper, “The New York Post.”
