UP News: 53 medicines including paracetamol have failed the quality test. A case of their poor quality has come to light. This claim has been made in the report released by CDSCO. These 53 medicines include vitamins, sugar, blood pressure as well as many antibiotics. The report has also raised concerns about the health of those who use these medicines.
Now after this report came out, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav wrote through social media, ‘Today’s corrupt BJP government should answer, will taking such medicine cure or make you sick. As long as BJP keeps collecting donations from companies, the business of low quality medicines will continue.’
He said, ‘Will any action be taken even after this report or will the matter be hushed up by increasing the donation rate. This BJP game of playing with the lives of the public is not good. Condemnable!’ Actually, people usually take paracetamol immediately after getting fever. In such a situation, there is a need to be careful now.

These medicines failed the test
The country’s drug regulator Central Drugs Standards Control Organization (CDSCO) has issued a monthly drug alert. In this alert, 53 medicines have been declared as Not of Standard Quality (NSCU). The medicines that failed to pass the NSCU test quality include Vitamin C and D3 Re Tablets as well as Shelkel, Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin C Softgels, Antiacet Pan-D, Paracetamol Tablet IP 500 mg and diabetes medicine Glimepiride.
Metronidazole, a medicine used to check stomach infection, has also failed the test. This medicine is manufactured by PSU company Hindustan Antibiotics Limited.
