JEDDAH: The Saudi Food & Drugs Authority (SFDA) has warned against a website marketing a medicine that can allegedly cure diabetes.
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. SFDA said the medicine is sold at a high price, yet there is no proof that the medicine cures diabetes.
According to an SFDA statement, the medicine is not registered with the authority and carries a misleading claim that it cures diabetes, while its contents and any side effects of the drug are not known.
The regulatory body considered the company’s marketing illegal and recommended the drug’s withdrawal from the market.
