Codeine ban: NAFDAC shuts Emzor, two other firms

Three pharmaceutical firms including Emzor have been shut by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration & Control (NAFDAC) for failling to cooperate with the agency in the investigation into the Codeine syrup crisis.

The others are Ilorin-based Peace Standard Pharmaceutical Limited and Bioraj Pharmaceutical Limited.

All the firms were associated in the codeine syrup crisis and NAFDAC said the decision to shut them down was taken following findings from investigations and inspections at the companies.


Tolasblog gathered that the reopening of the manufacturing companies will depend on the level of cooperation that is shown during the comprehensive investigation.
