Counterfeit medicines: The Central Drug Standards Control Organization (CDSCO) has released the latest report for the month of October. There is such a revelation here that will blow your mind. Currently, 56 poor quality medicines have been found on the market, including medicines used daily. In addition, three fake drugs are also sold indiscriminately in the market. Let us give you complete information about it.
That’s the whole thing
As per regular regulatory monitoring activities, the list of non-standard quality (NSQ) and counterfeit medicines is published on the CDSCO portal every month. According to the October report, the quality of 56 drug samples tested by the Central Drug Laboratories was found to be non-standard. At the same time, three drugs were found to be fake during the investigation.
The quality of these drugs is poor
It is worth noting that this test is carried out every month by the CDSCO, during which samples of drugs available in the market are taken and tested. In the October list, 56 drugs were found to be of non-standard quality, including drugs such as Calcium 500, Vitamin D3 250, UI IP Tablets, Ciprofloxacin Tablet USP 500, Aceclofenac and Tablets paracetamol. At present, the names of the fake medicines are not known.
These drugs failed last month
After this survey carried out every month, many drugs appear, after which the response from these companies also arrives. The batches of medicines from which samples are taken are available for sale on the market. Last month also, 49 medicines, including the top-selling cough syrup, multivitamins, antiallergics, etc., had failed to meet the quality parameters in the CDSCO’s September report. DCGI Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi said that if a drug fails in the testing parameters, it is not considered to be of standard quality. It turns out that the medicine in the batch from the company that manufactured this medicine does not comply with the standard. Notices are issued to these companies.
