The origin of the malfunction, which would have caused medication reversal between a sleeping pill zopiclone and the diuretic Furosemide from the Teva laboratory, has still not been identified. After a quick first of the factory in Sens (Yonne) by the inspectors of the Medicines Agency on Tuesday, June 11, it is the turn of the gendarmes to go there, last Thursday.
These searches follow the opening of two preliminary investigations after the suspicious death of four people linked to the drug.
Despite the fact that no dysfunction was observed within the plant, the authorities preferred to recall all the lots of Furosemide Teva. However, for the moment, “none of the boxes that came back showed bad packaging,” Health Minister Marisol Tournaine explained to the National Assembly last Wednesday.
Currently, only one box, which would have caused the death of a nonagenarian in Marseille, bears proof of a drug exchange.
