The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) has made the decision to withdraw pholcodine-containing medicines from the South African (SA) market due to the increased risk of sudden, severe, and life-threatening allergic reactions occurring during surgery. There is a link between the use of pholcodine-containing medicines and the risk of a sudden, severe, and life-threatening allergic (anaphylactic) reaction when neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are administered during general anaesthesia. NMBAs are used as muscle relaxants during surgery. The use of pholcodine-containing medicines, up to 12 months prior to surgery, increases the risk of anaphylactic reaction in patients who receive NMBAs.
