00:00Before the witness, the sale and use of chemicals used in dialysis but not licensed by the Food and Drug Administration is based on Kavite.
00:10Witness, John Consulta.
00:16After the seizure, NBI-NCR seized a dialysis center in Dasparinas, Kavite.
00:22You are not allowed to sell this. This product is not registered in the DMV.
00:27I don't have a license to operate.
00:29I won't release it. I won't release it.
00:31Try it. Try it.
00:33According to the search warrant, operatives also discovered 50 boxes of Diacid, a medicine used in dialysis for kidney problems.
00:42According to the NBI, they received a complaint that the so-called dialysis center uses and sells the so-called chemical to other dialysis centers,
00:50even though it is prohibited by the Food and Drug Administration.
00:54This product is not tested and not registered.
00:58We don't have strong evidence that it is effective and can be used as medicine.
01:05It can also be used to treat a more serious illness of a patient.
01:12When asked which dialysis centers buy the prohibited chemicals for dialysis machines, according to the NBI,
01:20According to our investigation, we were able to get documents, receipts, and records that they sell.
01:33In a room, the NBI found a lot of boxes of Diacid that had no contents and were possibly used by their dialysis patients.
01:42The two people arrested by the dialysis center have already been investigated in the complaint filed by the Philippine Pharmacy Act.
