Central Drug Standards Control Organisation, CDSCO has flagged select batches of four drugs as spurious.

Out of nearly 3000 samples tested, 49 drugs were asked to be recalled as they were found less efficacious. Only nearly 1.5 per cent of the total drugs sampled were found to be less efficacious.

Talking to media in New Delhi today, Drugs Controller General of India, Rajeev Singh Raghuvanshi said vigilant action and monitoring of drugs by CDSCO has drastically brought down the percentage of less efficacious drugs.
