The CDSCO regularly tests various drug samples to ensure their quality. This round of testing included widely prescribed drugs such as Vitamin C and D-3 tablets (Shelcal), Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C soft gels, antacid Pan-D, Paracetamol 500 mg, diabetes drug Glimepiride, and hypertension drug Telmisartan.

Concerns in the Healthcare Sector

In light of this revelation, medical experts have advised consumers to be cautious about using these medications. The government is expected to take appropriate action against the manufacturers of the failed drugs.
