A pharmacy sold a contraceptive injection instead of an antibiotic to a child in Madaba governorate, reported the director of medicine at the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA), Amal Abu Al-Rub, Thursday.

The director added to Roya that the report of the inspection staff at the JFDA showed that the pharmacist's assistant was the one who gave the wrong injection, which the parents' of the child submitted a complaint against.

She added that the report will be referred to the Jordan Pharmacists Association (JPA), which in turn will take the appropriate action against the responsible pharmacist.
