(916) 445-1967 fQ~~QMEB ALERT ON DANGEROUS IMPORTED ETHNIC MEDICATIONS-------

State Heal th Director Kenneth W. Kizer, M.D., M.P.H., today announced the expansion to Northern California of a major statewide initiative to remove from sale and discourage further use of certain Chinese and other Asian medications which are dangerous. The initiative is a unique cooperative consumer protection effort among the Asian community, importers, wholesalers, retailers and the Food and Drug Branch of the Department ·of Health Services.

Dr. Kizer said this initiative is part of the Department's continuing ·efforts to identify and remove from sale dangerous imported ethnic medications. The Department's previous enforcement actions to remove individual medications have been relatively unsuccessful. These medications would be removed during enforcement activities, then reappear shortly thereafter.

•the strict enforcement approach did not work,• Kizer said, "because the community did not understand California law and the risk posed by these medications."

During the past few months the Food and Drug Branch and the Oriental Herbal Association have been working closely together to identify those dangerous medications which importers, wholesalers and retailers should discontinue importing and se11ing. These medications can cause injury, illness, or death because they contain toxic ingredients or because their unproven treatment claims for serious medical conditions divert consumers away from proper medical attention.

Examples of prod-ucts which contain toxic ingredients are Niu Huang Xiao Yan Wan also known as Bezoar Antiphlogistic Pills and Cinnabar Sedative Pills. Niu Huang Xiao Wan Pills contain arsenic disulfide and can cause degeneration of the liver and kidneys. Cinnabar Sedative Pills contain mercury, which can cause serious 1 iver and _ kidney dysfunction and death. Examples of products which make unproven treatment claims for serious medical conditions are-Niu Huang Chiang Ya Wan which claims usefulness in the self treatment of high blood pressure and depression, and Dendrobium Moniliforme Night Sight Pills which claim effectiveness in the treatment of blurred vision, "dim• eyesight, and cataracts.
