Nolotil is sold WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION in pharmacies and is used outside legal indications

The media commotion caused by the announcement of the Association of People Affected by Drugs (ADAF) de su sue Health for damages from Nolotil It is causing a reaction from different actors in the health system. On Friday the Spanish Medicines Agency (AEMPS) issued an “informative” note which was basically a copy and paste of his previous note, which dates back to 2018!

Since then THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING, and that is why ADAF is suing them, for inaction in the protection of the Fundamental rights of people, such as the right to health.

The disinformation machineryexpected because whenever there is a scandal of this type the AEMPS denies everything (and then sometimes ends up withdrawing the product, as happened in 2017 with the Bayer Essure brand contraceptive), has been echoed in some media outlets that blindly believe said health authority.

ADAF responded today by sending a Press release to the media in which warns of the lies and manipulations of the Agency.

At the same time that the AEMPS came to “save soldier Nolotil”, the Official College of Pharmacists of Madrid (COFM), and presumably the others as well, came to support him.

Thus, in an internal note, he says that, due to the lawsuit filed by ADAF,

There are some queries from patients related to the safety of the active ingredient metamizole or dipyrone and some serious adverse reactions associated with this medication, such as agranulocitosis«.

Official College of Pharmacists of Madrid.

The COFM thus tries to “reassure the population”, and reminds the members that it has prepared a guide for the proper use of Nolotil. It also refers to the old note from the AEMPS, the one from 2018 (and there have been no deaths since then, as ADAF has tried to document it to the Agency without it wanting to).

The COFM also adheres to the lie that the Spanish Pharmacovigilance Systemthat is, the Medicines Agency that does not listen to ADAF and the data it has about what is happening with Nolotil, to say that this

makes a continued monitoring of the different adverse reactions that can be produced with this and other medications, which is a guarantee of safety control for citizens.

The truth is that there is no such monitoring. To give another example, I had the opportunity to meet two families in which one of the members died shortly after putting the Covid vaccine from AstraZeneca, for thrombi. The AEMPS promised them that it would investigate the case, but now They never heard from the Agency againas family members told me months later.

Remember, the COFM does, that Nolotil “should only be used under medical prescription, for the authorized indications and following the established guidelines and doses.

But how yesterday the British newspaper published The Guardian againit is really easy to get this drug in Spain, where they have moved without prescription. And, as the dozens of people damaged by metamizole who have come to ADAF these days tell us, it is also used outside the legal indications authorized.
