New Delhi: In line with the 'Not of Standard Quality' data provided by states, the apex drug regulatory body, the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), in its latest drug safety alert, has flagged 13 medicine batches for failing to qualify for a random sample test for July 2024.

The list of drugs declared not of standard quality includes Cephalexin Oral Suspension manufactured by Nestor Pharmaceuticals, Salbutamol Nebuliser Solution manufactured by Cotec Healthcare, Sodium Valproate Gastro Resistant Tablets manufactured by Unicare India, Cilader - 10 manufactured by Alventa Pharma, Bioglip 1Tablets manufactured IBN Herbals, Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride manufactured by Wings Biotech, New improved Gentle Daily care Natural protein Shampoo manufactured by Himalaya Wellness, Irinotecan Inj.IP 100 mg vial Supplied by Kerala Medical Services Corporation, Vitamin B Complex tablet supplied by Kerala Medical Services Corporation Ltd, Chlorpromazine Tab Supplied by Kerala Medical Services Corporation, Fluorometholone eye drops IP manufactured by Cotec Healthcare, and Iron and Folic Acid Syrup manufactured by Jackson Laboratories.
