If you have diabetes and are taking Metformin, contact your healthcare provider. Please see this important message from our pharmacy: Recently, some manufacturers of the diabetes medication, Metfor- min, have issued recalls. You may hear about this in the media. Some batches of metformin have been found to contain unacceptable levels of NDMA(N-Nitrosodimethylamine). NDMA is classified as a probable human carcinogen (a substance that could cause cancer) based on results from laboratory tests. NDMA is a known environmental contaminant found in water and foods, including meats, dairy products and vegeta- bles. As of this time, Min No Aya Win pharmacy has NOT distributed any affected metformin. However, some patients from CAIR and Mash- kiki Waakaaigan pharmacies have received metformin affected by the recalls. Patients who have received affected medication will be contacted by pharmacy and arrangements will be made to replace these prescrip- tions. Do NOT stop taking metformin without first speaking to your health care provider. As always, if you have questions, please contact your pharmacist or provider for more information. Metformin recall By Zachary Dunaiski C OVID-19 has only been around since Novem- ber 2019, and has only been in the U.S. since January, but the world has now eclipsed eight million cases (8,052,090 as of June 15), with more than two million (2,114,026 June 15) in the U.S. Those cases have been devastating on families, businesses, and the way we live our normal lives, impacting everything we do. Worst, is the loss of life, which America now has more than 116, 127 deaths (June 15), significantly more than Brazil (43,959 yesterday) and the United Kingdom (41,821 yesterday) combined, which are the two countries with the next highest death totals. As the economy reopens, it is important to remem- ber the techniques that help slow the spread and save lives. Wear masks, don’t congregate in large groups (particularly indoors), stay six feet apart, wash your hands frequently, and clean high touch surface areas frequently.
