								<img decoding= ] Sofia. The Drugs Agency (BDA) blocks 62 pharmaceuticals for the treatment of hypertension, heart attacks and heart failure due to a likely carcinogenic provocation. This is clear from a message posted on the BDA website. He indicates that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the relevant national authorities have been informed of the presence of an impurity in the active substance valsartan manufactured by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China. The impurity N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is clbadified as probable carcinogen. The Zhejiang Huahai study shows that the presence of NDMA is related to changes in the manufacturing process introduced in 2012. The Bugarian Drugs Agency explains that this is not related to established violations of GMP compliance and no it is known that other active substances of this company are affected. Zhejiang Huahai reported on these impurities of end-user manufacturers in the European Union using the active substance valsartan to produce drugs valsartan, which in turn reported to the EU regulatory authorities
At a briefing on the subject, Mary Peycheva, Director of the Directorate of Legal, Administrative and Financial Activities and Quality Management of the Bulgarian Medicines Agency, stressed that the suspension of the drugs was preventive. In his own words, the agency has issued a blocking order for drugs, as all other Member States have done, and their pharmacies have already been suspended. Merry Peicheva badured that there are enough alternatives available to replace abandoned products and there is no need to worry. "We have identified the available alternatives to the list of positive drugs currently being downloaded from our site and more than 100. For patients' peace of mind, they could, at the first opportunity, contact their doctor to educate them, she In its opinion, the European Medicines Agency is currently badessing the amount of active substance in valsartan and whether it has reached its end-use level.There is still an badessment of how long patients have been exposed to the substance and if this has led to any influence. "Products containing valsartan are intended for the treatment of hypertension, recent myocardial infarction and heart failure and are considered very widespread, "said Mary Peycheva
