After dozens of vision impairment cases were reported in Punjab during the past few days, the provincial caretaker government on Sunday imposed a two-week ban on Avastin’s sales and usage for ophthalmology-related treatments, until quality check results were obtained.
Punjab caretaker Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi made the decision during a crucial meeting held with officials of the Health Department and eye specialists to address Avastin (Bevacizumab)-related blindness cases.
