THE BUREAU of Customs intercepted thousands of regulated drugs, including the currently controversial ivermectin, which were undeclared in a shipment coming from India.
In a statement on Thursday, the bureau said the Customs examiner at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport found the regulated drugs “concealed in the inner portion of the subject shipment and covered by other declared regulated items.”
The shipment, imported by Finstad, Inc. from New Delhi, was declared as “Food Supplements, Multivitamins and Multi-Mineral Capsules,” according to the bureau.
Among the confiscated items were 20,000 capsules of ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug authorized for animal use in the Philippines but is being promoted by some politicians and medical practitioners as a preventive or treatment medicine against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
