The National Drug Authority (NDA) is investigating the Fedate medication circulating on the market after a viral social media video that sparked concern.<\/p>\n
The video, which has spread online, depicts someone opening capsules of a purported drug called Fedate and demonstrating its unusual magnetic attraction. The person in the video says the drug had caused immense pain to his wife who was taking it.<\/p>\n
In a statement dated December 28, 2023, NDA says the individual did not provide information on how they obtained the medication, which hinders a thorough investigation into the case.<\/p>\n
” Fedate is dully registered and approved for use after undergoing all due regulatory processes of NDA,” NDA’s statement reads in part.<\/p>\n
“Carbonyl Iron, one of the ingredients of the powder in the capsule can be attracted by a magnet as an inherent property,” the statement reads further.<\/p>\n
The drug authority has now resolved to investigate the Fedate medication circulating on the market to ensure it meets the approved standard and quality specifications.<\/p>\n
It however adds that the capsules that contain folic acid, and Vitamin B12 among other contents sometimes have side effects like gastrointestinal upsets and constipation.<\/p>\n
The medicine is prescribed for iron deficiency anemia.<\/p>\n
