CHINA'S FAKE HEPARIN
Chinese government still wrestles with poor food and
drug oversight
February 17, 2009 -- The manufacturing and safety status of food and drugs
from China continues to puzzle observers. Last year, blood thinner Heparin coming from China made hundreds of
victims sick after being contaminated with inexpensive and fake ingredients.
Then, at least six babies died and nearly 300,000 were sickened by
contaminated infant formula from
China that can cause kidney failure. Two men were sentenced to death in
that case just last month.
New problem
Now, just last Thursday, Chinese police detained two people believed to be
involved in distributing a counterfeit diabetes drug linked to two deaths in the
far western Xinjiang region last month. The drug also sent nine other people to
the hospital.
The drug, sold under the brand “Tang Zhi Ning Jiao Nang,” was found to
contain six times the normal dose of glibenclamide, the ingredient used to help
lower blood sugar.
According to the official Xinhua News Agency, the two men were detained in
Liaoning province in northeastern China. No cases of illness have been confirmed
other than those in Xinjiang region.
