The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has asked manufacturers to inform general public on adverse reactions from some commonly-used antibiotics.
About:
This happened after the Union Health Ministry’s pharmaceutical watchdog, the National Co-ordination Centre of the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), raised an alert on adverse reactions that were being reported from 7 commonly-used antibiotics.
The 7 Antibiotics are: Cefotaxime, Ofloxacin, Cefixime, Tranexamic Acid, Quetiapine, Sulfasalazine and Sodium Valproate.
CDSCO has written to drug manufacturers, to mention in leaflets inserted into drug packets or on promotional literature, information about the adverse reactions of these medicines.
