Recall of Extended Release Metformin

On October 10th, 2020 the FDA sent out an alert informing partners and health care professionals of the recall of Extended Release (ER) Metformin (a popular drug used to treat diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) distributed by by Marksans Pharma and Sun Pharmaceutical Industries.

The companies are recalling this Metformin because it contains N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogenic- which is in an unacceptable high level in the drug.

Metformin from the specific manufacturer Marksans Pharma, being sold under brand name Time-Cap Tabs Inc., is the Metformin which has been recalled.

An investigation was launched by the Ministry of Health, Wellness and New Health Investment and we can now reassure the general public that the Metformin being recalled, Extended Release (ER) Metformin brand name Time Cap Tabs Inc., is neither procured by the Ministry of Health nor sold in the established pharmacies in Dominica.

Therefore we wish to encourage our diabetics and other members of the population using Metformin to continue taking your medication as prescribed, and to continue with all other diabetic management guidelines you have been given from your health care professionals

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
