Ministry of Health revokes registration certificates for 3 pain relievers, erectile dysfunction and obesity treatment drugs

Deputy Director of the Drug Administration of Vietnam (Ministry of Health) Nguyen Thanh Lam has just decided to revoke the registration for circulation in Vietnam of 3 drugs: Tadalafil, Odistad and Vacobufen. These three drugs have the effect of reducing pain and fever, treating erectile dysfunction and treating obesity.

The reason for the recall is that the registration facility requested to "voluntarily revoke" the drug's registration certificate in Vietnam. Drugs manufactured before June 3, 2025 are allowed to be circulated until their expiry date.

Tadalafil 20mg (Tadalafil 20mg), with registration number 893110457024 (old registration number VD-31364-18), is registered and manufactured by Meyer-BPC Joint Venture Company (address in Phu Tan ward, Ben Tre city, Ben Tre province).

This is one of the popular drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction and physiological problems in men.

Odistad 120 (Orlistat 120mg) medicine, with registration number 893100515124 (old registration number: VD-21535-14) registered by Stellapharm Joint Venture Company Limited (address in Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City); manufactured at Stellapharm Joint Venture Company Limited, Branch 1 (in Binh Duong province).

The main ingredient of the drug is Orlistat. This is a drug that treats obesity and prevents weight regain in adults.

Vacobufen 400 (Ibuprofen 400mg), registration number 893100032324, registered by Vacopharm Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company (Ward 1, Tan An City, Long An Province); manufactured at Vacopharm Pharmaceutical Joint Stock Company (Tan Khanh Ward, Tan An City, Long An Province). On the website of this company, Vacobufen 400 is introduced as having the effect of temporarily relieving pain and temporarily reducing fever.

The Drug Administration of Vietnam requires drug registration and drug manufacturing establishments to be responsible for monitoring and taking responsibility for the quality, safety and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals during circulation.

294 numbers of cosmetic product declaration receipts for imported sunscreens, facial cleansers, shower gels... were just recalled by the Drug Administration of Vietnam (Ministry of Health) on May 29 alone.

The Ministry of Health revoked the Certificate of "Good Manufacturing Practice for Cosmetics" for EBC Dong Nai Medical Factory Joint Stock Company, which produces cosmetics for the VB Group company of Doan Di Bang's husband to distribute and advertise.

Authorities discovered a sample in a batch of Adaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser - 125ml bottle that violated regulations and was forced to suspend circulation and recall nationwide.
