Beware of fake insulin tea, NAFDAC alerts Nigerians
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has alerted Nigerians of an unregistered and fake ‘insulin tea’ for the cure of diabetes in circulation.
NAFDAC also warned Nigerians against buying or taking the tea.
The advice was contained in a statement signed by the Director-General of the agency, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye.
“NAFDAC wishes to notify the public of the circulation of an unregistered and fake product called “insulin tea,” claimed to reduce blood sugar level and ‘delete’ sugar in the body.
“Please note that the NAFDAC number shown on the packaging of this product (NAFDAC Reg. No. 01-8662) is fake. The insulin tea poses a danger to the health of the public.
“Members of the public are implored to contact the nearest NAFDAC office with any information concerning the distribution, sale and use of the fake insulin tea,” the Director-General said.
Prof. Adeyeye also advised consumers to report adverse effects related to the use of regulated products to the nearest NAFDAC office.
She urged Nigerians to report such incidents through the toll-free NAFDAC PRASCOR 20543 from all networks.
