Shimla: Regulatory heat is intensifying on pharmaceutical manufacturers in Himachal Pradesh after a large number of medicine samples produced in the state failed quality checks.
State Drug Controller Manish Kapoor announced that companies whose medicines samples failed quality tests have been issued notices and directed to recall their stock from the market.
Out of 200 medicine samples tested nationwide, 47 were manufactured in the state. These include medications for fever, heart attacks, and diabetes. The failed samples originated from various districts: 28 from Solan, 18 from Sirmaur, and one from Una. Notices have been issued to the respective companies, officials said on Saturday.
