Hyderabad: The Drugs Control Administration (DCA) in Telangana seized stocks worth 3 lakh after busting an unauthorised manufacturing operation of certain drugs at a pharmaceuticals company in Gajularamaram, Medchal-Malkajgiri.
According to the officials, a total of 537 kg of albendazole tablets and 986 kg of albendazole granules, both intended for veterinary purposes, were manufactured illegally without a drug licence at the manufacturing facility of Siflon Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
In another case at Moosarambagh, officials seized formulations illegally marketed under the name of a pharma company operating without a drug licence, with stocks worth 52,737 confiscated.
During the raid, the DCA officers detected formulations illegally marketed under the name of Biovus Pharma. The company's management failed to produce the requisite manufacturer-marketer agreement with the manufacturer of the drug and also failed to furnish a valid drug licence at the marketer's address indicated on the label.
In the third case, officials found an Ayurvedic medicine with the label name 'Heamaadri Artho Care Pain Oil' circulating in the market with misleading claims of treating rheumatoid arthritis, which is a contravention of the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act. All the stocks of the drug were seized by the officials.
