Supply of spurious drugs in Tripura

Agartala: Tripura government has blacklisted Himachal Pradesh based Vardhaman Pharma Pvt Ltd and initiated legal action against the company for supplying spurious and sub-standard drugs in the hospitals.
However, reiterating the earlier stand Tripura Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Spokesperson Dr Ashok Sinha demanded action against the accused officials including Chief Secretary and additional chief secretary of dealing with the company.
He said as many as 11 spurious drugs of the company had been distributed even up to primary health centre level and it had a definite affect on the patient.
Dr Sinha pointed out that Regional Drug Research Laboratory Guwahati had declared these 11 items including a life saving injection spurious on 25-31 July last but the department of health wait for 5 weeks to issue order of withdrawal of those drugs from the hospital. “The spurious items include most important and commonly used drugs like Vexim-DT Tablets, VCIN-250 Tablets, AMIKA-500 Injection, AMIKA-100 Injection and CLOXA-500 Capsules,” Dr Sinha stated who is also a physician.
He demanded CBI probe into the case because the deal was happened at high level of the administration and moreover, despite knowing the fact of adulteration in the medicine the government took about one and half months to withdraw those medicines from the hospitals.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Tapan Chakraborty stated in 2012 Himachal Pradesh drug control authority had renewed Vardhaman Pharma’s licence and they had also submitted two credential certificates from PGI Chandigarh and another national accredited drug testing laboratory.
“While random testing, it found two drugs are spurious and six drugs are sub-standard out of the consignment of 11 drug items and even though three drugs are tested okay, we did not take any risk and department withdrew all of them and stopped the payment about rupees one crore,” Chakraborty stated.  (UNI)
