Ludhiana Pharma Firm Caught Selling MTP Kits Illegally
13 May
Summary
- Medical store sold MTP kit without prescription or invoice.
- Firm failed to provide purchase records for stocked MTP kits.
- Enforcement drive continues to curb illegal sale of sensitive medicines.
Officials in Ludhiana have taken action against a pharmaceutical firm for the illegal sale of medicines. A drug control officer inspected a medical store and found violations concerning the sale of MTP kits.
The store allegedly sold an MTP kit to a decoy customer without obtaining a valid prescription or issuing a sales invoice, both required by law. The firm also failed to produce records of purchased MTP kits.
Strict legal action is now being initiated against the violator. Surprise inspections and decoy operations will persist across Ludhiana to stop the illicit trade of sensitive medications and ensure compliance.
Health authorities have previously cautioned that unsupervised MTP kit consumption can lead to severe health risks for women, especially without medical consultation or assessment.
