The seized samples have been sent to Mohali for analysis and laboratory testing.
Acting on a tip-off, in a coordinated effort, the BSF and FDA conducted the raid on a medical shop near Changa Rai Uttar village in Ferozepur district.
Among the confiscated items were 20,370 capsules of Pregabalin and 93 tablets of Tapentadol.
