The Food and Drugs Administration has issued a warning against receiving stem-cell therapies in hotels and other unauthorized facilities.
FDA Acting Director Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go said availing of such treatments in non-health facilities may lead to contraction of infectious diseases and other complications.
Go said some five-star hotels and wellness centers have been offering stem-cell procedures and other “medical needs” at their establishments to affluent people, especially tourists.
“The public is warned against receiving stem cell preparations and therapies without prior regulatory applications and approval from the Food and Drug Administration,” the FDA official said.
Under the agency’s Advisory 2013-012, stem-cell preparations that need FDA approval are the genetically altered human adult and umbilical cord stem cells; adipose or fat cells derived human stem cell; human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products subjected to genetic manipulation; and live animal embryonic, fetal, or adult stem cells in parenteral form for human administration.
“Patients should only consult with duly-licensed medical practitioners who practice stem cell therapy, and in health facilities approved by the DOH,” Go said, adding that verification can done by email <info@fda.gov.ph> before ncy’s clearance.
Stem-cell therapy is an intervention strategy that introduces new adult stem cells into damaged tissue in order to treat disease or injury, which many medical experts believe treats certain illness and slows down aging among human.
