Drug inspectors seize expired medicines worth Rs 40,000

Pilibhit: A team of five drug inspectors conducted raids at an unlicensed drug store in Gajraula Kalan area of Pilibhit district on Wednesday morning for allegedly selling expired medicines and seized a large stock of drugs worth Rs 40,000.

“We have seized 78 kinds of different medicines, some of which belonging to a restricted category, whose sale requires a doctor’s prescription. We also recovered some of the drugs, which are given as samples to the physicians and its sale is strictly prohibited,” Babita Rani, one of the drug inspectors who raided the store, told TOI.
