[Posted 11/01/2007] FDA notified healthcare
professionals of the seizure of more than $300,000 worth of
product, including NC Solution, an antifungal product, and other
drugs for human or animal use, dietary supplements, and ingredients
to make those products because some lacked FDA approval and all
were maintained under grossly unsanitary conditions by General
Therapeutics Corp., of St. Louis, Mo. NC Solution is considered a
drug because it is intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, or
treatment of disease in people or animals and is not generally
recognized as safe and effective for its intended uses. The company
does not have FDA approval for NC Solution.
Consumers who have any products manufactured by General
Therapeutics, including NC Solution, should consult their
healthcare provider about discontinuing their use and report if
they have experienced any adverse events that they suspect are
related to the use of these products.
