Paracetamol to pantop: CDSCO finds over 50 sub-standard drugs. Check full list of medicines

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has identified over 50 drugs which have failed in the drug test. In its latest report, the controller said 50 drugs including Paracetamol are “not of standard quality” (NSQ). The report has also flagged calcium and vitamin D3 supplements, anti-diabetes pills, and high blood pressure medicines.

Paracetamol tablets from Karnataka Antibiotics & Pharmaceuticals Ltd were specifically mentioned for quality concerns. The report listed a total of 48 drugs in the NSQ category, including a Gauze Roll Non Sterile Roller Bandage.

NSQ alerts come from monthly random sampling conducted by state drug officers. Some of the medicines were produced by companies like Hetero Drugs, Alkem Laboratories, Hindustan Antibiotics Limited (HAL), Karnataka Antibiotics & Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Meg Lifesciences, and Pure & Cure Healthcare.

Additionally, the CDSCO shared another list that features five more drugs that failed quality tests. The pharmaceutical companies denied responsibility for these drugs. They claim they are “spurious,” and one response from a company stated, “The actual manufacturer (as per label claim) has informed that the impugned batch of the product has not been manufactured by them and that it is a spurious drug. The product is purported to be spurious; however, the same is subjected to outcome of investigation.”
