According to a test report of drug sampling during the at first stage in 1998 by the Department in Health of Mainland China(PRC), results showed that 28% (28 cases) of antibiotics assessed in 100 drug samples was inferior. To verify the drug safety and the compliance with the policy of the ROC government, we have continuously evaluated for six years the safety of antibiotics manufactured in Mainland China. We conducting acute toxicity tests to determine the safety and quality of these products. Several commercial organizations purchased for us in 1998 23 cases of antibiotic samples from Mainland China. Two case, of antibiotic samples exceeded the valid period of expiration. The remaining 21 cases were evaluated using acute toxicity tests on mice in accordance with the guidelines of Chinese Pharmacopoeia IV, US Pharmacopoeia XX I, Minimum Requirements for Antibiotic Product (MRAP, Japan), Mainland China Pharmacopoeia (1990) and Organization for Economic Cooperation (OECD). The results showed that all of the antibiotic samples from Mainland China passed acute toxicity testing administered by systemic injection (6 cases), oral administration (14 cases), and subcutaneous injection (1 case). All tested mice showed normal growth patterns. The results support the conclusion that all antibiotics sampled & tested were qualified and safe. |
