Familia DRAP recalls batch of popular birth control drug
Last week, the Drug Regulatory Authority banned the sale and use of the defective batch of Familia injection, a birth control medication, after it was found to be substandard.
The injection, manufactured by a private pharmaceutical in Karachi, was being sold in Karachi.
The decision came after the Central Drug Testing Laboratory declared batch No. 83 of Familia injection as substandard. The DRAP issued a product recall alert, warning that using the non-standard injection can be harmful to health and potentially cause blood infections.
