Fake medicines containing chalk powder starch seized by TSDCA

Medicines manufactured by a fictitious company that goes by the name of Meg lifesciences, Khasara, Palli Gaon, Sirmour district in Himachal Pradesh, have just chalk powder and starch but no active medicinal ingredients, the Telangana State Drug Control Administration (TSDCA) said on Tuesday while urging people not to procure and consume these ‘medicines’.

On being alerted, the TSDCA drug inspectors recently procured ‘medicines’ that were being retailed by the non-existent company at various medical shops. It turned out that the purported drugs retailed by this company did not have any medicinal value (nil medicine) and much to their shock, contained a combination of chalk powder and starch, which poses a threat to general public.
