Medicines for BP, sugar and fever fail in test: Do not depend on doctors and pharma companies, take the responsibility of your health in your own hands.

What do you usually do when you have cold and fever? The answer would be that we take medicines after consulting the doctor. In case of diabetes and hypertension, medicines are taken regularly. After this he becomes worried and says, 'We have taken the medicine, now there is nothing to worry about.'

In the last few months, several medicines have failed quality tests during inspections by drug regulatory body CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation). This means that the medicine is not effective for the disease it was meant to treat. The side effects of that medicine can also be serious. Overall, it is not safe to consume medicines that fail the quality test. Therefore, even after taking medicine, we cannot remain relaxed.

India's largest drug regulatory body CDSCO has released the list of 48 medicines. These medicines have failed in the random sample quality test conducted in the month of August. A total of 53 medicines failed in this testing, while 5 of these medicines are such which the companies have refused to accept as their own. These were fake medicines, which were being sold in the market in the name of some pharmaceutical companies.

It is a matter of concern that the medicines which failed the test are being manufactured by well-known pharmaceutical companies of the country like Hetero Drugs, Alkem Laboratories, Hindustan Antibiotics Limited (HAL), Karnataka Antibiotics and Pharmaceuticals Limited.

So, today in 'health water' We will talk about those medicines which failed the CDSCO test. You will also know that-

Indian people consider doctors as another form of God. In July 2023, the then Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh L Mandaviya had said at the third convocation of AIIMS Rishikesh that the people of India see doctors as messengers of God. Therefore, it is the responsibility of doctors to make healthcare affordable and accessible to serve humanity. He also said that health in India is not a business, but a service. However, in the last few months, both these things said by Mansukh Mandaviya have been tarnished.

In April 2024, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) released a survey report which revealed that 45% of doctors in India were writing wrong or misleading prescriptions. It was also revealed that many medicines like Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole-Domperidone and enzyme medicines were being prescribed unnecessarily by the doctors in the prescription papers.

Now, if the medicines of famous pharma companies fail the quality test, it means that a big game is being played with the health of the common people.

Medicines for which diseases failed in sample testing? Shelcal, a popular tablet meant to supply calcium and vitamin D to children, also failed to meet the parameters in this quality test. It is manufactured by the famous pharmaceutical company Torrent Pharmaceuticals. This medicine is used in small children at the time of teething, adults with bone related problems and the elderly to prevent osteoporosis.

The list of medicines and pharma companies that have failed in the quality test is so long that it is difficult to write the names of each one. For now, take a look at the graphic to see which drugs have failed testing for which diseases.
