NAFDAC has moved to clear the air after social media claims suggested that the antibiotic Amoxicillin has been banned in Nigeria.
The agency called the rumours “entirely false,” stressing that while it may issue safety alerts or recall specific substandard batches, there is no nationwide ban on the drug.
NAFDAC urged the public and healthcare professionals to ignore misinformation and rely only on verified updates from its official channels.
For accurate guidance on Amoxicillin use and regulation, Nigerians are advised to consult NAFDAC’s full statement on its website.
