The Medical and Pharmaceutical Control Committee has issued an order banning Desilmax in Kazakhstan, Orda.kz reports.
This means that the medicine can no longer be used in clinical practice. Pharmacies and medical organizations must withdraw the affected batches and stop using them.
Desilmax is a sildenafil-based drug — it contains the same active ingredient as Viagra — and is marketed as an affordable Indian alternative, sometimes called «Indian Viagra».
The Ministry of Health has previously reported serious violations in the pharmaceutical market, including the sale of state-subsidized medicines, expired drugs and reused labelling codes.
