| Have Some Asbestos With Your Aspirin Posted: 12 Apr 2009 05:28 PM PDT So asbestos is everywhere. And now JoongAng Daily, a Korean news website reports that in addition to baby powders and cosmetics that have been found to contain talc contaminated with asbestos, drugs too may carry asbestos. Pharmaceutical companies whose names have not been released have voluntarily halted sales of seven drugs, including antibiotics, antacids and hemostatic powder — all containing talc that is suspected to be contaminated with asbestos. The list of companies includes the pharmaceutical arm of a Korean conglomerate and a leading pharmaceutical firm. The Korea Food and Drug Administration under the Health Ministry announced that it will hold a meeting with several groups to discuss the issue. The total of estimated contaminated drugs is around 320. |
