Prevent Accounting For Acute Kidney Failure, Circulation Of Prexion Drugs In Bengkulu Is Temporaryly Stopped

Bengkulu Center for Drug and Food Control (BPOM) asked all pharmacies in the region to temporarily suspend the circulation and sale ofethy medicines for prexion-type children. Head of BPOM Bengkulu Province Yogi Abasso Mataram said his party had coordinated with the Bengkulu Indonesian Pharmacists Association (IAI) regarding requests to pharmacies not to sell while the prexion type mild drugs were temporarily. "We have asked pharmacies to temporarily stop epilogical investigations by BPOM and we have coordinated with IAI not to temporarily sell Praxion drugs while waiting for the results of the central investigation," he said in Bengkulu City, Friday. He mentioned that there are several pharmacies in Bengkulu that sell the drugs in small amounts and there are three pharmacies that have large amounts of Praxion drugs.

Yogi appealed to the public, especially parents, not to worry about the development of hot reduction drugs that allegedly trigger kidney failure disease in children. They also ask people to buy drugs in official facilities such as pharmacies and drug stores that have pharmacists or pharmaceutical technical personnel who can explain safe drugs for consumption or can contact BPOM Bengkulu.

The Bengkulu Provincial Health Office (Dinkes) is currently still waiting for a circular (SE) from the ministry regarding the supervision and withdrawal of measures containing ethilen glycol (EG) and dietilen glycol (DEG) brand Praxion. "We are still waiting for a circular from the Ministry of Health for the regions, related to national issues, it will definitely refer to policies from the central government regarding withdrawals," said Bengkulu Provincial Health Office Head Herwan Antoni.
