DILI 8 february 2023 (TATOLI)- Minister of Health (MoH) and Autonomy Medicines and equipment Service (SAMES) forbid private pharmacies not to commercialize illegal drugs, especially Praxion syrup drugs, which risk people’s health.

Vice Minister of Health (MoH), Bonifácio Mau Coli said MoH banned Timorese people buy inequality drugs in public pharmacies.

“I informed the public to stop buying illegal drugs, with low quality and risk for people’s health,’’ Deputy of Minister of Health (MoH), Bonifácio Mau Coli told Journalists at the Government Palace, thursday.

He added MoH required private pharmacies must commercialize legal drugs, which are known with no harm to people’s health. Therefore MoH continues to control illegal drugs in the country.

At the same time, The National Director of SAMES, Saturlina Ximenes said the public has been concerned about Praxion syrup which has low quality and caused many side effects.

“We do not have stock of Praxion syrup in the national drugstore. Because this type of medicine is not assisted in the MoH list, we just provide a stock of medicines recommended by the Minister of Health”’ Saturlina Ximenes told TATOLI in her office, Kampung Alor, this Wednesday.

However, the Praxion syrup medicine can be sold in private Pharmacies across the country, as it is out of SAMES competence and control.

“SAMES does not receive any medical supplies from an Indonesian medical company. SAMES takes responsibility to control the type of medicines procured by the Minister of Health and stored in the National warehouse,”

Ximenes stressed that the syrup medicine products available in SAMES do not include Praxion, but what SAMES has is paracetamol syrup recommended by moH with no risk for children and adult health.

It is known that this syrup medicine is containing Praxion 120mg micronized paracetamol produced in Indonesia country.

So far this Praxion medicine can be damaged people’s kidneys and caused death.
