The Panama Ministry of Health Warns About the Illegal Sale of Artri Ajo Rey and King Products for Joints
The FDA confirmed that Artri Ajo Rey contains undeclared substances such as dexamethasone, diclofenac, and methocarbamol, which increases health risks.
Minsa issued a health alert after detecting the illegal sale of the products Artri Ajo Rey and Artri Ajo King , promoted as treatments for joint pain. These formulas lack official registration and pose a serious risk to the public. The warning is based on a report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which confirmed the presence of undeclared substances in Artri King Garlic. These components can cause severe adverse effects in those who consume them. The National Directorate of Pharmacy and Drugs urged citizens not to purchase medications on the street, through social media, or on websites, as these channels do not guarantee quality or safety. Only authorized pharmacies offer reliable products.
In addition, the public was asked to refrain from purchasing these products if they identify them for sale and to report it immediately to 501-0306. Citizen collaboration is key to curbing illegal distribution. The FDA revealed that Artri A jo Rey contains dexamethasone, diclofenac, and methocarbamol, active ingredients that are not listed on its label. Use without medical supervision can lead to serious complications. Therefore, anyone who has ingested this product is advised to consult a healthcare professional immediately.

The Ministry of Health also urged healthcare professionals to report any cases related to these products, in order to protect public health and avoid further consequences.
