The Government Analyst–Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) is advising the public that only medication manufactured for sale in Guyana’s climate zone and packaged with English instructions should be imported, sold or consumed.
“Only medicines which have undergone the requisite stability testing and are intended for use in Zone IVa or IVb countries will be allowed to be imported into Guyana,” the department announced yesterday.
According to a release from the GA-FDD, recent visits from inspectors to more than 11 pharmacies in Georgetown and other outlying areas resulted in the seizure of out of zone and foreign language (Turkish) labeled medicine.
