Dr. Abbas disclosed that, based on confidential information, the Drug Control Peshawar successfully intercepted a large quantity of counterfeit drugs being transported via Daewoo Cargo.<br \/>\nThese illegal medications were en-route from Karachi to Peshawar through Daewoo cargo services. The seized contraband includes a staggering 37,000 counterfeit tablets and medicines, supposedly procured by the Sindh government.<br \/>\nInvestigations are underway to trace the origin of these fake drugs within Peshawar. In the Namak Mandi area, numerous drug supplier stores underwent rigorous inspections. During these checks, samples of suspected fraudulent drugs were collected and sent to the drug lab for thorough analysis. Furthermore, Dr. Abbas highlighted the swift closure of an illegal medical store in Mian Village Colony by Drug Control Kohat personnel.<br \/>\nSimilarly, a medical store near LMH Kohat was shut down due to the sale of medicines with an Expired Drug License. Legal actions have been initiated against the violators under the Drug Act of 1976. Various medical stores were inspected, resulting in the confiscation of numerous suspected counterfeit and substandard medicines for comprehensive laboratory testing and analysis.<br \/>\nDr. Abbas also provided updates on actions taken in Swat and Bajaur, where 12 drug samples were collected during 14 inspections. The results of these sample analyses will lead to legal actions against the relevant suppliers and medical stores involved.<br \/>\nThe joint efforts of Drug Control Peshawar, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, are aimed at ensuring the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals in the region. Dr. Abbas urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities related to counterfeit drugs to the authorities.<br \/>\nThe province remains committed to safeguarding public health by addressing the issue of counterfeit drugs with the utmost seriousness and diligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR The Director General of Drugs and Pharmacy Services, Dr. Abbas, has announced a significant crackdown on counterfeit and fraudulent medicines in the province.
