'Glutathione injectables not legal' - FDA

MANILA, Philippines - A warning to those who want to have fairer skin: Think twice before going to a skin clinic to get an injection of glutathione, a drug that can whiten skin.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clarified on Wednesday that only glutathione tablets are approved by the agency, and not glutathione injectables.

"Ang glutathione injectable ay hindi tama, hindi pinapayagan, hindi legal dahil walang approval sa amin at walang studies na nagpo-prove that these are safe," said Nazarita Tacandong, assistant director of FDA, on the radio dzMM's "Tambalang Failon at Webb" on Wednesday (June 1).Glutathione is a drug that is used to treat cancer. Its side effect is the whitening of skin as it deactivates tyrosinase, the enzyme that helps produce melanin, the pigment that determines skin color.

Tacandong said when a person takes glutathione, the skin becomes whiter as a reaction of the body to the drug.Glutathione may cause kidney failure and blood poisoning, said the FDA.

Tacandong added that the FDA can only advise the public not to use glutathione injectables.

It is up to the Professional Regulation Commission, she said, to go after doctors administering glutathione injectables.

Illegal skin-whitener could kill, Philippines warns

MANILA - Illegal injections of a cancer-treating chemical pose a risk of death to legions of Filipinos who use them to try to whiten their skin, health authorities warned Tuesday.


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspects the drug glutathione is being injected in high doses as a skin-whitener, but said it can cause serious conditions including kidney failure and blood poisoning.


It has issued advice against taking regular injections of the chemical -- approved only for treating cancer -- because the government suspects licensed skin doctors are among its purveyors, said spokeswoman Jesusa Joyce Cirunay.


"We have been getting reports that they are being administered by people who have experience in injecting medicines," Cirunay told AFP.
She said the agency had monitored many cases of glutathione use resulting in ailments, but gave no figures.


The agency said that claims had been made that glutathione whitened the skin by deactivating the enzyme tyrosinase, which helps produce melanin, the pigment that gives human skin its color.


But these claims have been widely disputed, the agency said.


It warned that repeated injections of the drug could lead to kidney failure, blood poisoning and toxic epidermal necrolysis, in which a large portion of the skin peels off, exposing the human body to many infections.


"The alarming increase in the unapproved use of glutathione administered intravenously as a skin-whitening agent at very high doses is unsafe and may result in serious consequences to the health of users," its advisory said.


The government is gathering evidence that could lead to prosecutions, Cirunay said without giving details.


Skin-whitening treatments and products including soaps, lotions and deodorants are popular in the Philippines and other Asian countries.
