The Ministry issued a circular, last Thursday, to withdraw and stop the circulation of the drug "Profinal", also produced by Julphar, due to its non-conformity with the approved specifications for the quantity of the active substance, and the detection of insoluble deposits on the wall of the product bottle that does not dissolve by shaking.
