Ghaziabad (UP), Jul 22 (PTI) As part of a special drive against spurious and illegal pharmaceuticals, a joint team comprising Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) officials and Ghaziabad Crime Branch personnel raided a factory in Dehradun allegedly involved in manufacture of counterfeit medicines, officials said on Wednesday.
The factory, located in the Devipur New Highway Road area of Dehradun, was allegedly producing counterfeit medicines by misusing the names and brands of well-known pharma companies such as Cipla, Lupin, Dr Reddy’s, Elder, Micro, Mankind, Intas, Abbott, Sun Pharma, Aristo, Macleods, and Zydus.
The packaging of these spurious medicines was designed in such a way that ordinary consumers and medicine retailers would be easily misled.
During the operation, the team seized a large quantity of suspected spurious medicines, packaging materials, labels, wrappers, and other equipment used in the manufacturing process.
The seized materials have been taken into custody, and samples have been sent for testing, the statement said. PTI NAV ARB ARB ARB
