The National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has raised an alarm over a falsified batch of Giga-S Injection identified in Aba, Abia State.
The falsified batch was purchased from a renowned store located at Araria Market in Aba, Abia State.
Giga–S injection Ceftriaxone is indicated for the treatment of severe infections due to susceptible organisms including septicemia; pneumonia; and meningitis.
According to the agency, although this falsified batch product was identified in Abia state, it may likely have been distributed to other parts of the country through informal markets.
NAFDAC in a statement implored importers, distributors, retailers, and healthcare providers to always exercise caution and vigilance within the supply chain to avoid the importation, distribution, sale, and administration or use of falsified or substandard medicinal products.
