DAK alleges D&FCO in sale of fake and substandard drugs in in J&K

Srinagar, Feb 9 (UNI) Accusing Drugs and Food Control Organisation (D&FCO) department officials of being involved in sale of substandard and fake drugs in Jammu and Kashmir, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) today said the state has become a gold mine for spurious drugs as the market is unregulated and unchecked.
"J&K has turned to be safe bastion for trade in spurious and substandard drugs. Every day patients suffer and even die because of this menace. In a recent report, an anti-diabetic drug, Blisto-4MF, manufactured in Jammu was found spurious and the quantity of drug was found nil in the sample taken," President DAK Dr Nisar ul Hassan said.
"In another report, three injections, namely Dicloliv, Phenergram B and Lezon lifted from Sopore and Baramulla, after public uproar, were declared spurious. Another antibiotic drug, metronidazole continued its use in Kashmir hospitals for 4 months evenafter being declared substandard."
