New Delhi: The apex drug regulatory body, Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has flagged 22 drug samples as 'Not of Standard Quality' after they failed to qualify a random drug sample test for the month of August.

These drug samples included popular formulations and brands like Folic Acid Tablets I.P. 5mg, Diclofenac gel B.P. 1% w/w, Hypodermic Syringe 2ml, Herpivir-800 Tablets, RYAAL, Vibpure Hand Sanitizer, Ulcon Tablets, Allyn Instant Dry Hand Rub, Amzeclav-625 Tablets, and others.

This came after analysis and test conducted by the CDSCO, Drugs Control Departments, on 843 drug samples. Out of this, 821 samples were found of Standard quality while 22 of them were declared as Not of Standard Quality (NSQ).

A few of the causes why the drug samples tested failed included Sterility, Assay, Dissolution, Description & Particulate Matter, Uniformity of weight, Assay of Isopropyl Alcohol, Assay of Ethyl Alcohol, and so on.

The samples were collected by the Drugs Control Department of Gujarat, Assam, Govt .of N.C.T of Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, and Srinagar Further CDSCO Ahmedabad, Ghaziabad, and Kolkata also picked up samples. Tests were conducted in three laboratories namely CDL Kolkata, RDTL Chandigarh, RDTL Guwahati.
