Tainted medicine – time to take action

A bottle of IV fluid purchased in a pharmacy near Bir Hospital contained visible particles in it. The medicine manufactured by Tablets India Pvt. Ltd. shows sheer negligence in manufacturing a fluid that is directly injected in blood vessels.

This should only be an eye opener for the consumer protection bodies in the government to exercise tighter quality control of critical products like medicine – just like the action taken for food hygiene and action against adulteration, last month.
