Combatting the superbug
THE rampant misuse of antibiotics in Malaysia highlights the urgent need for responsible healthcare practices. One common but dangerous example is the treatment of sore throats. Although most are caused by viruses and do not require antibiotics, many Malaysians still demand or expect them - fuelling the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This misuse is not just harmful; it is helping to build a future where simple infections could once again become deadly. In Malaysia, the overuse of antibiotics is particularly concerning — a recent study found that only 2.8 per cent of sore throat cases in public primary care clinics were caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS), the only common bacterial cause warranting antibiotics, yet 22.3 per cent of these patients still received antibiotics, with over 90 per cent of these prescriptions deemed unnecessary. "The Health Ministry is scaling up national interventions to address antibiotic misuse. Our focus is on policy enforcement, enhancing clinical guidelines, and running large-scale education campaigns to shift both public and professional behaviour," says Klinik Kesihatan Bandar Botanic, Klang consultant family medicine specialist Dr Ho Bee Kiau. Misuse — often driven by misinformation — can lead to treatment failure and drug-resistant infections. Empowering patients with the right knowledge is critical to preventing a future where even routine infections become untreatable, says Kuala Lumpur Hospital head of pharmacotherapy services, Rahela Ambaras Khan. Clinical guidelines like the Malaysian Multidisciplinary Sore Throat Consensus are designed to support better diagnostic decisions. When used correctly, they help reduce reliance on antibiotics for viral infections, which don't benefit from them, adds Professor Dr Baharudin Abdullah, one of the authors of the Sore Throat Consensus. "Our data shows a persistent gap between what's medically appropriate and what's being prescribed. Closing that gap is essential," he adds. Patients often feel uncertain when told antibiotics aren't needed. That's why education is key — not just for doctors, but for the public, says Universiti Malaya faculty of medicine, department of primary care medicine, family medicine specialist Dr Mohazmi Mohamad. When people understand why antibiotics don't work for viral sore throats, they're more likely to accept alternative treatments and avoid contributing to resistance, he explains. In line with promoting responsible sore throat management, the Malaysian Multidisciplinary Sore Throat Consensus also provides healthcare professionals with clear, evidence-based guidance on when antibiotics are necessary — and when they are not. The guidelines highlight the value of accurate diagnosis, patient education, and symptom-targeted care, reinforcing the importance of accessible solutions that help manage viral sore throats without relying on antibiotics.

Woman caught smuggling unregistered health products
BUKIT KAYU HITAM: A Malaysian woman's attempt to smuggle four unregistered health products was thwarted yesterday at the Bukit Kayu Hitam ICQS Complex. The items, suspected to contain scheduled poison, were valued at RM4,460. In a statement, the Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency said all four products were found to be unregistered with the Drug Control Authority (DCA) and may contain substances controlled under the Poisons Act 1952. It said the Customs Department referred the case to the Health Ministry's Pharmaceutical Enforcement Division at around 3.30pm. "For the record, this year the Health Ministry has already handed over 32 items worth RM32,986 to Customs," read the statement. These included seven items worth RM2,640 in January, 18 items worth RM25,116 in March, and another seven worth RM5,230 this month. The items will be confiscated and disposed of, with further investigation underway against the woman involved. It said it would not compromise with any parties attempting to smuggle prohibited items that may pose a threat to public safety and health.

MP urges government to list etomidate as dangerous drug
KUALA LUMPUR: A government backbencher has called on the government to list etomidate under the Poisons Act and the Dangerous Drugs Act, following reports of the drug being fatal in Singapore. Bandar Kuching member of parliament Dr Kelvin Yii said etomidate is an intravenous anaesthetic drug that has been misused as a recreational substance through vape products, often marketed as Kpods. "This is not just a theory or speculation. We are witnessing the harsh reality where this drug has already claimed lives in our neighbouring country, Singapore. "If Malaysia does not act swiftly and firmly, we too may face preventable deaths, especially among our youth. "Etomidate is an intravenous anaesthetic drug, but it has been misused as a recreational substance. It is not safe. There is a risk of sudden death when inhaling etomidate," he said during his debate on the Poisons (Amendment) Bill 2025. He said users may suffer severe respiratory distress, sudden unconsciousness, injury, and adrenal crisis, which affects the body's ability to produce stress hormones like cortisol for several days. "This can cause dangerously low blood pressure and organ failure." Yii said Kpods, which often contain this substance, are heavily marketed to young people. He added that Singapore has listed etomidate under its Poisons Act and has gone a step further to upgrade its classification to a dangerous drug. "I believe we should learn from this and not wait until our children are affected or lives are lost. "I call on the government to classify etomidate as a dangerous drug. "I believe the Health Ministry, the National Anti-Drugs Agency, and the Home Ministry must ensure that both the Poisons Act and the Dangerous Drugs Act are amended to explicitly regulate etomidate as an illegal substance, with penalties that reflect its serious harm to our children. "We must also enforce existing vape laws more strictly. This includes increasing inspections and raids against illegal vape distributors and considering stricter controls over vape liquids and devices," he said. He also urged the government to enhance Malaysia's capabilities in detection and forensic analysis. He said immediate funding should be allocated to the Chemistry Department, the police forensic unit, and relevant laboratories to acquire specialised equipment such as GC-MS/MS, and to develop validated testing protocols for detecting etomidate in vape liquids and biological samples like urine and blood. "I also urge the Health Ministry to issue strong warnings and implement aggressive public education campaigns. "We need a national campaign to ensure that our children understand the dangers of this poison. "There should also be messaging that Kpods can stop your breathing and kill you instantly. Etomidate is not a toy. These Kpods are not toys. I believe this campaign must continue and be targeted at both parents and children," he said. Last week, it was reported that Singapore is working to list etomidate as a Class C drug under its Misuse of Drugs Act. Singapore's Health Minister Ong Ye Kung was quoted in a report published by CNA as saying that authorities had randomly tested more than 100 seized vape devices, and one-third were found to contain etomidate. Ong also noted that there have been deaths including from traffic accidents and unnatural causes in which etomidate was implicated, with investigations still ongoing.
