Falsified Chloroquine products circulating in Africa – Food & Drugs Authority

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has received an alert through the World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Surveillance and Monitoring System for substandard and falsified chloroquine in Africa.

The supposed falsified chloroquine products with different presentations are confirmed as falsified and deliberately or fraudulently misrepresent their composition.

A statement issued in Accra by Delese A. Darko, the Chief Executive Officer, FDA said it was noted that either the products do not contain the correct amount of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, based on the result of the preliminary or full compendial analysis.
