SINGAPORE - The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has warned the public to avoid buying and consuming two health products from Malaysia that caused two elderly women to develop adverse reactions.
In a press release on Thursday (Nov 2), HSA said the two products - Wan Ling Ren Sem Chin Kuo Pill and Chong Cao Dan - were tested to contain undeclared Western medicinal ingredients.
Both were promoted as traditional Chinese medicine claiming to contain herbal ingredients to help with conditions such as pain, numbness of the limbs and blood circulation.
However, tests conducted by HSA found that both products contained dexamethasone, a potent steroid, while Chong Cao Dan also had frusemide (a diuretic which helps to remove excess fluid from the body) and chlorpheniramine (an anti-allergy medicine).
A woman in her 70s who had been taking Wan Ling Ren Sem Chin Kuo Pill daily for four to five years to relieve her rheumatism and pain was hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit due to severe breathing difficulties.
She suffered from adrenal insufficiency, a serious condition where the body does not produce adequate amounts of steroid hormones. This results in generalised weakness, muscle and joint pain, low blood pressure, fits or shock.

I don't understand why sinkies are still taking all these
we have failed to educate our own people from consuming poisons

Chinese only trust chinese made products.
That's the problem. When the world's largest market starts to determine world standards. the quality and standard of the world will drop to their standard. I can't imagine current chinese standards start to regulate world pharmaceutical standards. Who is going to trust and depend on Chinese standards and authorities to regulate the pharmacy industry? Find is hard to accept chinese standards for medicines like insulin for diabetics Hardy will dare purchase Panadol or Tylenol if they are made in China. Simple thing like saline for contact lens wash also will be suspect..
Cheers!
