E-DRUG: Products containing chlormezanone
-----------------------------------------
I am interested to know if any product containing chlormezanone
is available especially in countries like India, Philippines
and Singapore. I would also like to know the formulation alongwith
their manufacturer.

Note from the moderator:
------------------------
In October 1996, chlormezanone-containing products were withdrawn
in France because of the association of serious cutaneous toxicity
with the use of these products. In Japan seven license holders of
chlormezanone recalled this drug from the market. Similar action
was taken in Germany. In Portugal, the drug regulatory agency
revoked the marketing authorization of chlormezanone products. In
the U.S., Sanofi discontinued supplying chlormezanone products
on November 15, 1996. Sanofi also announced worldwide withdrawal
of its chlormezanone.
Hopefully, e-druggers from India, Philippines, Singapore and other
countries will report the status of chlormezanone-containing drugs
in their respective countries. Thanks in advance.
Chlormezanone was discussed earlier in E-DRUG in August 1997.
