How can FDA be responsible for His death? Did FDA ask him to go n buy de drug from peddlers On the street? We've well written Laws in Ghana but we the citizens of this great Nation just refuse to adhere to them. There're many Pharmacies , Clinics, and Hospitals in and around kumasi and the country at large that we can seek proper medical care but we prefer to go and bend down for medical care on the pavements at kantamanto, kejetia, Makola, sofoline, 37 station, asafo market, kaneshi, Amakrom, Buduburam, ashiaman, Nima, Lapaz, and circle etc. The peddlers know is illegal but still doing it. FDA are doing very very well.

Ghana is falling apart as each day goes by.codeine (benadryl) has been abused in ghana for how long ? Most of the kids in gh picked up this bad behaviour from their nigerian friends. Kids just woke into any chemist shop or pharm shop and buy it. Fda sits down in their ac offices and do nothing. They just need to enforce the laws and stop people from using their pharmacy degreees to open100 shops without no pharmacist on site... laws r made but not enforced till then more people will die cus u have wrong people dispensing medications without zero knowledge of what they doing. A right pharmacist wont just dispense tramadol like that but in ghana you can buy a whole box of it without no questions asked. I can walk into any pharm shop and buy control meds like perocet without no questions.

What you've said makes sense except that pharmacy is registered with a pharmacist's licence and not degree. There's a difference cos you could have pharmacy degree but with no licence. Secondly it's one licence per pharmacy. ...

What you've said makes sense except that pharmacy is registered with a pharmacist's licence and not degree. There's a difference cos you could have pharmacy degree but with no licence. Secondly it's one licence per pharmacy. No one opens more than one unless you use other person's licence.

Ghana continue to train more nurses eventhough we don't have hospitals and the need for them.Why not divert some of these people to be trained as safety/Health Inspectors for Schools,Hospitals,Factories,New and Old public Structures,Bridges etc.We still have thousands of trained Nurses waiting to be posted but no Safety Inspectors.How does that make sense?

Pls FDA , ban this dangerous drug from the open market . it is destroying a lot of the youth especially in the Zongo communities. Fda should with immediate effect control the sale of this drug

According the story he started going down after taking the drug. Obviously it cannot be the drug. It takes time for drug to be absorbed into the body. He was dying and took the drug (in public) as a last resort

True Tramadol takes one hour to stat working. It couldn't have been the cause of death according to this story. It is safe in normal doses

So you're telling me that the bystanders who didn't even know the guy, could identify the drug in question as being tramadol. And they watched him take those pills following which he started bleeding from the nose; which should've taken about an hour or so, to occur. And all the while they just looked on until he popped!..........??? I dunno which is dumber; the bystanders, or the whole story!

An unidentified man who was taking it in public? This story is far fetched.
