Per the FDA public advisory issued last May 6, it is prohibited to sell and use of Lianhua Qingwen Jiaonang, saying the drug “has not gone through the registration and testing process of the FDA and has not been issued with proper authorization in the form of Certificate of Product Registration.”
“Thus, the Agency cannot guarantee their quality and safety. The
consumption of such violative product may pose potential danger or injury if
administered,” the advisory read.
The police were able to seized multiple boxes of medicine that contained 259,200 capsules with Chinese labels which allegedly cure patients infected with coronavirus disease.
