The
Vietnam Administration of Drug under the Ministry of Health yesterday announced
to withdraw Salbutamol from the index of materials for producing medication.
The
administration also sent its document to local drug manufacturers about its
decision of withdrawal. As per the administration, Salbutamol is an active ingredient
which has been used to make medicine for years. Drugs containing Salbutamol are
used for treating respiratory diseases including asthma.
The
Ministry of Health managed the import of the material to make drug for
treatment.
Before,
the drug administration allowed to re-import 100kg of Salbutamol in August
after nine-month hiatus to meet the production of drug.
Along
with the decision of withdrawal, the drug administration also suspended and asked to remove batches of unsafe
cosmetics from the local market.
Cosmetics
products were withdrawn from the market because they failed to meet
requirements. For instance, whitening cream made by My Linh Company in the
Mekong delta Province of Hau Giang’s Chau Thanh District failed to meet
requirement of content of Propylparaben and homogeneity.
In
addition, Korean-made Organia White milk body Cleanser imported by Ngan Thanh
Tam in district 8, and fragrance, face powder including Sisley eau tropicale
eau de Toilette, Super soin solaire milky body mist spf 30, Eau De Sisley 2,
Phyto-blanc lightening compact foundation Spf 20.made by French C.F.E.B Sisley
were removed from the market.
