The Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) has flagged 53 drugs, including paracetamol, as "Not of Standard Quality (NSQ) Alert" in its latest monthly report. The list features popular medications, including calcium and vitamin D3 supplements, anti-diabetes drugs, and high blood pressure medications. Notably, antibiotics like Clavam 625 and Pan D have been deemed "spurious." Manufactured by companies such as Hetero Drugs and Alkem Laboratories, these drugs failed quality tests conducted by state drug officers. Pharmaceutical firms have denied responsibility, claiming the flagged batches are spurious and not produced by them, pending further investigation.
