The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB), under the Ministry of Health, has issued a public advisory on the proper storage, handling, and formulation of Health Products and Technologies (HPTs). The notice, dated March 12, 2025, addresses rising market complaints about product degradation, often linked to improper storage and handling practices.

According to the board, these issues pose significant risks to product quality, safety, and efficacy, ultimately affecting patient health outcomes. “The Board has received multiple market complaints regarding HPT degradation, often linked to improper storage and handling,” the statement reads. “These issues pose a significant risk to product quality, safety, and efficacy, ultimately affecting patient health outcomes.”

The PPB emphasized that all manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, and healthcare facilities must adhere strictly to manufacturer-specified temperature and humidity conditions to maintain product integrity. It also stressed the importance of following Good Distribution Practices (GDP) across the supply chain.
