In order to make it easy for laboratories, doctors, and pharmaceutical firms to differentiate between fake and original drugs, the department has written to the headquarters of Pfizer to release their reference standards, says Health Minister U.T. Khader
Karnataka's Health Department is implementing measures to track cancer patients who may have unknowingly purchased counterfeit drugs following a recent drug bust. Health Minister U.T. Khader announced that the licenses of 16 retail and wholesale pharmaceutical firms have been cancelled, while eight licenses were suspended. Officials will contact cancer patients across the state to assess their health status, as the department seeks to differentiate between fake and original drugs.
Khader also called on Pfizer to release reference standards for drug testing and urged the Union government to address the issue of counterfeit drugs in the market.
