Doctors prescribing Cytotec

Misoprostol (Cytotec), an unregistered drug product was featured last Saturday in the television show Imbestigador (Channel 7). Although the Bureau of Food and Drugs had already issued BFAD Advisory No. 02-02, * warning against dispensing/selling and using this drug product, there are still doctors who prescribe it and, sad to say, the illegal market still proliferates (Quiapo was identified in Imbestigador).
The BFAD Advisory enjoins all concerned parties "to report to BFAD... or police authorities any information that may lead to the apprehension of persons dealing with the subject drug."
You may report through these e-mail addresses:
