Structum – why was it withdrawn?
«The Main Pharmaceutical Inspectorate received information from the authorized entity’s representative about a quality defect and the need to withdraw several batches of this drug, for which it was found TAMC (Total Aerobic Bacteria) results are out of specification and the presence or probability of Bacillus cereus has been demonstrated» — writes GIF.
“The occurrence of incompatibility in the medicinal products with which we are dealing in the present case does not require evidence carried out on the possibility of an immediate threat to health or life, because it is enough to justify the potential risk. In this sense, the pharmaceutical inspection has the task of reacting when it is potentially endangered ”- explains the Inspectorate.
“The Main Pharmaceutical Inspector informs about the possibility of returning the above-mentioned series of medicinal products to pharmacies” – we read in the statement.
Structum – in which diseases is it used?
Structum contains chondroitin (as acid sulphate) to complete the treatment joints affected by degenerative changes.
Capsule structure contains chondroitin sulphate – it is a building block of joints – bones and cartilages, thanks to which some building elements of the joint have the appropriate properties – flexibility and mechanical resistance. This component additionally inhibits the activity of lytic enzymes within the cartilage and enhances the synthesis of proteoglycans.
