Saudi Arabia warns against diabetes drug

25 July 2010

Saudi Arabia's Food and Drugs Authority (SFDA) has warned against a medicine that can allegedly cure diabetes, Arab News has reported. A US-based company calling itself Natural Medicine International produces the drug, called "Stable Sugar". The website claims that diabetes patients will not need insulin shots if they take the capsules. The regulator said the medicine is not registered in the kingdom and carries a misleading claim that it cures diabetes, while its contents and side effects are not known. SFDA recommended the drug's withdrawal from the market.
