Ex-Sabah CM questions delay in withdrawal of medication with losartan

KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah chief minister Yong Teck Lee has questioned the government over the belated announcement on the withdrawal of seven types of high blood pressure medication containing Losartan.

“I feel that such a mistake should never have happened in our country because Malaysia has a good reputation for our healthcare services,” he said to FMT. Lee said patients need not to panic as there are no short-term effects but pointed out “there is a potential human carcinogen risk due to the substance in the medications”.

“This is obviously a huge matter of public concern and MPs should debate the issue in the Dewan Rakyat,” Yong said.

Bcause Malaysian medical practitioners are merely yes-men to Big Pharma. Reject anything locals, full trust in BigPharma's supplies and imports. No questions asked.
