Beware of fake announcements on Facebook about the alleged disappearance of the Oki drug from pharmacies. The popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. No need to rush to stock up. Furthermore, the same author of the clickbait site could have spread the rejection on a second site, with a different domain but exactly the same packaging, leading one to reasonably suspect that there are multiple sites created with different domains.
For everyone who is in a hurry:
- There is no confirmation of the withdrawal on the AIFA or Ministry of Health website.
- The report about the disappearance of the Oki drug from pharmacies came from a clickbait site that also published a denial.
Analyzes
The shares have the following caption:
We have taken it for life… OKI has been withdrawn from pharmacies.
No Answer
In the so-called “article” published by the website Ditzyzv0.ulpa.edu.au we read: “A new wave of withdrawn products worries users across Italy, in fact there is talk of a withdrawal” due to the presence of a prohibited chemical compound”. In fact, there is no confirmation on the AIFA or Ministry of Health website of the elusive withdrawal of supposedly banned chemical compounds.
The site admitted the joke in another article
In a later article on the same website we find a text that presents the same story as a joke. In the text we read: “There is always talk about OKI being taken off the market, but all in all it is just a hoax that endangers many jobs.” There were also denials in this regard from fact-checking sites.”
Conclusions
We have seen that the news about the disappearance of the Oki drug from pharmacies is false. The content of those spreading fake news appears to be simply packaged to generate clicks and traffic.
