NAGPUR: The state Food and Drug Administration (FDA) busted a racket involving ‘substandard’ medicines in government-run hospitals in the Nagpur district on Friday.
In a major action, around 21,600 Ciprofloxacin 500mg tablets were confiscated by the FDA from the medicine stores under the Nagpur Civil Surgeon at Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital (IGGMCH). The FDA’s intervention followed the discovery of ‘substandard’ antibiotics during the testing of samples, which lacked the essential composition.
