Rs 15m in fake drugs found
KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) recovered counterfeit life-saving drugs worth around Rs 15 million on Wednesday, prompting the Pakistan Medical Association to reiterate that only prescriptions should be allowed.
The menace of fake and counterfeit medicines in the country can only be eliminated if the government makes it mandatory for pharmacists to sell medicines on prescription from a registered medical practitioner, said PMA Honorary General Secretary Dr Samrina Hashmi.
