Drugs manufacturers asks to submit details of drugs

Following reports of manufacturing of drugs by some pharmaceutical units in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh government today sought details of drugs manufactured from the companies.

The state would keep a strict vigil on the purchase, manufacture, sale and distribution of drugs formulations and raw material of drugs according to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act to check the reported misuse, an official spokesperson said.

"All the manufacturers in the state having product licenses in respect of drugs included in NDPS Act or controlled drugs or precursors would have to submit the complete inventory in respect of purchase, manufacture, sale or distribution and stock in hand of finished goods as well as raw material of each drug separately in the office of concerned Drug Inspector, he said.
 

The manufacturers would also have to submit the copy of quarterly report submitted to Narcotics Control Bureau and the monthly report in this regard on or before 5th of every preceding month, the spokesperson said.

Failure to comply with these orders would be dealt very seriously and strict action would be taken, he said.
