BANNED DRUGS IN INDIA-HOW WE FOLLOW & OUR GOVERNMENT CHECKS

The government has banned three popular medicines—the widely prescribed anti-diabetes drug pioglitazone, painkiller analgin and anti-depressant deanxit—in the wake of health risks associated with them. While it's believed that pioglitazone can cause heart failure and increases the risk of bladder cancer, analgin has been discarded the world over on grounds of patient safety. Deanxit, a combination of Flupenthixol and Melitrac,on the other hand is a harmful combination, which has been long banned even in Denmark, its country of origin.
in past many drugs has been banned in india like Nimuslide,Tetracycline ,Rosiglitazone,anto obesity drug,pain relief drugs but who cares for it,such drugs are openly available in market and even many spurious drugs are openly available in our retail and wholesale market,and our Government check and balance are simply sleeping either shortage of staffs as told by DRUG REGULATING AUTHORITY AND DIRECTOR GENRERAL OF DRUG CONTROLLING AUTHORITY or even they know every thing but hardly take action as hugh kickbacks and bribe is paid to overlook it eiher by senior bureaucrats or politcal boss or directing filling of own pockets.
Medicines produces by A PREMIER COMPANY AS RAINBAXY WERE SPURIOUS AND ADULTEREDED ,THESE WERE PRODUCED IN INDIA,INDIAN MARKET STILL USING THESE DRUG OF SAME BATCH EASILY BUT USA COURT FINED THEM SO BADLY THAT THEY THEMSELVES PRAYED TO USA GOVT TO SETTLE SUCH CRIME WITH COMPENSATION OF 560 MILLIONS DOLLAR TO SAVE THEIR MARKET OF 1000 MILLION DOLLARS AND SIMILIARLY THEY CREATED ARTIFICIAL SHORTAGE OF SOME DRUG IN UK TO INCREASE ITS DEMAND IN SECONDARY MARKET,UK COURT FINED THEM HEAVILY and for this No Government or Politician or any house can save them there.
Here Except Lilawati hospital Mumbai ,all big hospitals are writing RAINBAXY DRUGS WITH MUCH PRICE AND HONOUR as heavy margin is given on bulk purchases,it is not only 25-50% but it is some time 60-70%,such hospital charge retail price from the patient purchased such medicines in heavy discounts,so why they will not stand by such companies,secondarily heavy heft gifts,regulat cocktail parties in 5 star hotels in name of CONTINUE MEDICAL EDUCATION' are conucted by such medicines for DOCTORS AND MEDICOS ,they arrange their foreign tours,they pay for every medical conference either giving their aid in souvenir or installing stalls at CONFERENCE VENUE or picking and leaving DOCTORS FROM their clinic to such venue and conferences even conducted far away in our country or in foreign countries,if SUCH HEAVY BRIBE IS PAID OPENLY THEN DOCOTRS AND MEDICOS WILL not raise their voice too and DOCTOR LIKE DEVY SHETTY HAS COME OPENLY TO PROTECT RAINBAXY ON TV.
Here our politicians,bureaucrats,Drug controlling officers ,no body is interested to speak against them,even by hiring costiliest lawyers ,such company easily win PIL against them launched in court,A HIGH court has banned to take any acton against RAINBAXY DRUGS IN INDIA,it appears shameful,go to those who are dying or who are loosing their dear ones because of such spurious drugs,to listen in AC ROOMS and to judge on question and answer is something else but suffering is something else,there should be no tinkering in such policy of SPURIOUS AND ADULTERATED DRUGS AS IN USA,UK,CANADA AND AUSTRALIA,GERMANY,FRANCE any advanced nation,ADULTRATION IN FOOD AND DRUG IS A CRIME AS IT IS LIKE GIVING A POISON TO SOME ONE so it should be nipped in bud and if such BIG COMPANIES ARE ALLOWED TO WORK FREELY then thousand of companies which manufacture drugs will also dare to manipulate it .
so,as a good citizen every one of us Doctor,Hospital,researrch organisations,medical colleges,drug sellers manufacurers,govt regulating agencies,politicians,ministers,bureaucrats,general administrator like cmo,dm,sp,lawyers and judges all should come forward and adopt a zero tolerance policy for SPURIOUS DRUGS AND ADULTERATED FOODS as mere annoucing will not work and no body will like to deter it if we DONOT EITHER PUNISH THEM HEAVILY OR FORCE THEM HEAVY COMPENSATIONS AS THEY PAID IN USA AND UK.
