AUDIENCE: Consumer

ISSUE: FDA is warning consumers not to purchase or use PNC-27, a product promoted and sold through http://PNC27.com, as a treatment or cure for cancer. An FDA laboratory discovered the bacteria Variovorax paradoxus in a PNC-27 solution sample for inhalation.

FDA has not evaluated or approved PNC-27 as safe and effective to treat any disease, including any form of cancer. The agency has not received reports of illnesses or serious adverse events related to PNC-27.

RECOMMENDATION: FDA recommends patients with cancer discuss treatment options with a licensed health care professional. Patients who have used any PNC-27 product and have concerns should contact their health care provider as soon as possible.
