A Mamprobi-Agege-based Over-the-Counter Medicines (OTCM) facility illicitly dispensing tramadol to a drug addict has been shut down by the Pharmacy Council.
The closure took place on Monday following a tip-off from vigilant police officers who witnessed the addict adding tramadol to his drink.
Upon investigation, the individual confessed to obtaining the drug from the mentioned OTCM shop.
The facility’s owner showed defiance and lack of cooperation during the interrogation.
The Pharmacy Council is taking swift enforcement measures, and both the facility owner and her staff will face the disciplinary committee for stocking and dispensing a prescription-only medicine without appropriate authorization.
