Dear Friends,
The following information about OTC (Over the counter) medicines are very important for our knowledge and precautions.
India has become a dumping ground forbanned drugs; also the business and production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that you buy drugs only
when prescribed by a doctor (Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that you get what is prescribed at the chemist). Always buy
medicines from a reputed medical store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing lot of damage to themselves.
