Warning about repellents:
Furthermore, still in February, Anvisa showed that it was aware of the high demand among the population for the famous repellents. With the growth in the number of dengue cases, many people began to buy the product thinking that they would be protected from the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
Faced with this situation, Anvisa, as reported by the CNN Brasil portal, issued a recommendation, to combat the dengue mosquito, the use of repellents regulated by the agency that contain one of the following three substances:
- IR3535, present in Merck repellents;
- DEET (NN-diethylmetatoluamide), present in repellents such as Off;
- Icaridin, present in repellents such as Exposis.
Anvisa reinforces that parents must follow medical advice when applying repellents to children under two years of age. From this age up to 12 years, the agency recommends the use of repellents containing Icaridin or DEET with concentrations of up to 10% a maximum of three times a day.
Furthermore, Anvisa also points out that sanitizing repellents – products for use in the environment – can be used to combat the dengue mosquito. Among the compounds indicated is neem oil, which contains the substance azadirachtin. Use is approved in insecticides, but the product must be registered.
Prohibition against sweets:
Still in the month of February this year, Anvisa reported through the publication of resolution No. 465, of February 2, 2024, on the precautionary ban on batch No. 03/09/25 of the product Doce de Cidra Alada, Tatitania brand, manufactured by company Doces Tatitania.
According to the Santa Catarina Health Surveillance portal, the measure was motivated considering the unsatisfactory result in the copper determination test, according to initial Fiscal Analysis Report No. 993.1P.0/2023, issued by the Central Laboratory of Minas Gerais (Fundação Ezequiel Dias ).
Pronouncement:
So far, no official statement from the company has been found regarding the measure taken by Anvisa, but the space remains open for updating the matter.
Current situation:
We also did not find any answers regarding this matter. But, searching for the product on the internet, it is possible to find it very easily available in several online stores.
