KUALA LUMPUR, 12 Okt (Bernama) --
Pihak Berkuasa Kawalan Dadah (PBKD) telah mengeluarkan arahan menarik balik produk kesihatan yang mengandungi
sibutramine dari pasaran kerana ia didapati mampu meningkatkan risiko kesan advers kardiovaskular seperti serangan jantung dan strok.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan dan Pengerusi PBKD Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican dalam satu kenyataan berkata, keputusan menarik balik serta menggantung pendaftaran produk yang mengandungi bahan itu ialah berdasarkan kajian
Sibutramine Cardiovaskular OUTcomes (
SCOUT) bagi produk
Reductil yang dijalankan oleh Abbot Laboratories.
"Kajian tersebut menunjukkan sibutramine mampu meningkatkan risiko advers kardiovaskular terutamanya ke atas pesakit obes dan berlebihan berat badan berbanding pesakit yang menjalani senaman dan kawalan pemakanan," katanya.
Pemegang pendaftaran diminta memberhentikan segala transaksi jualan dan menarik balik produk dari pasaran dalam tempoh 30 hari dari tarikh penggantungan bermula hari ini, katanya.
Sibutramine didaftarkan di Malaysia sebagai terapi tambahan kepada diet dan senaman untuk pesakit obes yang mempunyai faktor risiko seperti penyakit diabetes, hipertensi dan dislipidemia, namun pengambilannya dilarang bagi mereka yang mempunyai sejarah penyakit arteri koronari, kegagalan jantung kongestif, penyakit arteri periferal, arithma, strok dan hipertensi tidak terkawal.
Lanjutan dari maklumat kajian
SCOUT, pada Januari 2010 PBKD telah mengarahkan pemegang pendaftaran produk mengemas kini sisip bungkusan mereka bagi mengukuhkan lagi informasi keselamatan serta mengeluarkan surat kepada pengamal perubatan di Malaysia untuk memaklumkan hal tersebut.
Sebanyak 38 laporan kesan advers yang melibatkan sibutramine telah diterima dan lima daripada laporan tersebut mendapati pesakit mengalamai kesan seperti jantung berdebar (tiga laporan) dan infarksi miokardial bukan fatal (dua laporan).
Dr Mohd Ismail menasihatkan supaya pesakit yang menerima rawatan
sibutramine supaya merujuk kepada doktor masing-masing untuk nasihat lanjut.
Setakat ini, terdapat sembilan produk berdaftar yang mengandungi bahan tesebut iaitu
Reductil,
Slenfig,
Sibutramine Sandoz,
Fenslim dan
Sibutrim.

With the integration of ICT into its daily operations, Putrajaya Hospital provides quicker and hassle free services with the ease of a click of the mouse or a text message.
At first glance Putrajaya Hospital seems no different from any other government medical facility but the feeling quickly disappears from the very moment patients arrive at the registration counter.
From then on one cannot help but be awed at the services available, at the model hospital that is helping integrate ICT into its daily operations, and in the process of not only making its operations easier, but also providing patients with quicker and hassle free services.
According to Putrajaya Hospital Director Dr Nora’i Mohd Said, the use of ICT in the hospital’s daily operations began immediately after it opened in the year 2000 with the implementation of the Total Hospital Information System (THIS). With THIS, the hospital has been gradually increasing the number of services managed with just a “click of the mouse.”
The system allows staff anywhere in the hospital to access and manage all aspects of patient records and critical care information, manage patient queues at various sections of the hospital as well as monitor medical supplies, beds, operation theatres, the pharmacy, picture archiving (for services like X-rays) and services like radiology, haemodialysis and pharmacy.
