FDA grants license for additional COVID19 drugs
MANILA—The Philippine Food and Drug Administration is addressing supply issues involving medicines used for the treatment of COVID-19."Iyong tocilizumab, nagkaroon po tayo ng bagong mga equivalent products that have been approved by FDA. Ito po ’yung tocilizumab na galing sa Livzon, isa pong malaking factory ng biologics po ito sa China. At within the week ay hopefully madadagdagan po ang mai-import na gamot," Domingo said in a taped public briefing aired late Monday.
Meanwhile, the FDA warned against those who buy COVID-19 medicines online, adding that there are several online sellers who sell fake medicines or who just take the payment from their customers without delivering the actual medicines. — With a report from Joyce Balancio, ABS-CBN News
