PROTAMINE sulphate sourced
from the Hokkaido Island fishing
areas off the coast of Japan has
been given the all clear by the
European Medicines Agency

commenced the review after the
fishing grounds for wild salmon (from
which protamine sulphate is sourced)

available data the CHMP concluded
that these differences had no
impact on the quality of the medicine.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 19 Nov 12 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 19 Nov 12
