Jakarta: A pregnant woman named Novi Sri Wahyuni, 21, claimed she had received and consumed expired vitamins from a community health centre in Kamal Muara subdistrict, Penjaringan, North Jakarta.

In her home not far from the centre, Novi showed reporters pictures of the B6 vitamins on Friday.

The expiration date, covered by blue marker, was difficult to read but she claimed they had expired in April. She said she had taken 36 vitamins since her first visit to the health centre on July 11 but only discovered they were expired last Tuesday.“One strip had 12 pills, so I have consumed 36 pills, ” Novi said, claiming to have lost 3kg since consuming the vitamins, as quoted by kompas.com.

Novi, concerned for the health of her unborn baby, was taken to a hospital where a doctor confirmed to her that her baby was healthy. The other symptoms, however, are allegedly due to poisoning. Kamal Muara health centre head Agus Arianto Haryoso denied Novi’s claim that she had consumed expired drugs, citing a lack of evidence but conceding that such a thing was possible. — The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network
