Cynthia Sarkis wrote on the mtv website: The World Health Organization’s warning that a contaminated drug was found in Iraq caused panic among many, especially in Lebanon, where unfortunately there is no oversight that protects us… So did this drug reach us in Lebanon? Are we in danger?

The head of the Pharmacists Syndicate, Joe Salloum, explained that the medicine recommended by the World Health Organization not to be taken is for cough control, and it is called Cold out, and its source is India. However, he confirmed that this medicine is not present in Lebanon, at least it is not among the legally licensed medicines found in pharmacies.

However, Salloum, in an interview with the mtv website, warned that there is a large part of the smuggled medicines that are sold outside the scope of pharmacies, specifically in “shops and on social media” that are not monitored, and therefore the danger is possible here, when the citizen buys these medicines. sometimes without realizing its danger.

Like everything in Lebanon, the bad may infiltrate us, so be careful in your consumption of medicines in particular, because the smuggled ones may become the disease…
