How medicines were being sold without proper prescription in Punjab
In a major breakthrough, the Border Security Force (BSF) along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has seized a substantial quantity of banned medicines in Punjab.
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.
These drugs were being sold without proper prescription, raising serious concerns about public health and safety.
The joint operation underscores the commitment of BSF and the FDA to combating drug abuse and their endeavour to make Punjab a drug-free state.
