New Delhi: A report released by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), a body that regulates the sales and distribution for drugs in India, declared 60 medicines – including the commonly used Combiflam and D-Cold Total – of substandard quality.
This conclusion was reached after the CDSCO carried out tests last month and found that they failed different quality determining tests.
Citing reasons like 'Description and particulate matter', 'Dissolution', 'Misbranded' and 'Disintegration', among others, all the 60 common drugs on the list are all labelled "Not of Standard Quality". Some medications are repeated in the list, since issues were found in different batches of the same medicine.
