The agency gave the caution in a public alert with number 032/2021, issued by the Director General, Moji Adeyeye today in Abuja.
It noted that the agency had been informed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that “Palisades Park, NJ, HIS is voluntarily recalling all lots and all presentations of the products.

The agency also called on patients to contact their physicians or healthcare providers if they have experienced any problems that may be related to using the product.
It encouraged healthcare professionals, consumers and patients to report any adverse events related to the use of the product to the nearest NAFDAC office.
The public are also advised to make their report through E-reporting platforms available on NAFDAC website or via the Med- safety application available for download on android and IOS stores.
