According to a statement on the agency’s X handle on Thursday, the falsified product is manufactured by Strides Arcolab Limited, based in India. Key findings from NAFDAC’s laboratory analysis revealed that the product contained zero active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and bore two conflicting date markings, raising further suspicions about its authenticity.

Manufacturing Dates: February 2023 and June 2023.
Expiry Dates: May 2026 and June 2026.
Manufacturer’s Address: Strides Arcolab Limited, 36/7, Suragajakkanahalli, Indlavadi Cross, Anekal Taluk, Bangalore-562 106, India.
