Unlicensed medical shop raided in Hyderabad; drugs worth Rs 25,000 seized

Hyderabad, June 11 (UNI) Officials of the Drugs Control Administration (DCA), Telangana, raided an unlicensed medical shop operating at Zamistanpur, Musheerabad, Hyderabad, and seized a large quantity of medicines stocked illegally for sale.
Acting on credible information, DCA officials conducted a raid on Tuesday at New Al-Shifa Medical and General Stores, located near Bandham Function Hall. The shop, operated by Mohd Saddam Hussain, was found to be functioning without a valid drug license, in violation of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act.
During the raid, officers found unauthorised stocks of 35 different types of medicines, including antibiotics, abortion kits, and habit-forming drugs such as Alprazolam and Tramadol tablets, along with IV fluids. The seized stock was valued at approximately Rs 25,000.
The raid was carried out by a team comprising D Saritha, Assistant Director (Secunderabad), along with Drugs Inspectors P Renuka (Musheerabad), B Govind Singh (Secunderabad), G Anil (Malakpet), and M. Surendranath (Begumpet). Samples of the seized medicines were taken for analysis, and further investigation is underway.
DCA officials have cautioned that wholesalers and dealers who supply medicines to unlicensed outlets will also face strict action. Supplying drugs to entities without a valid license is a punishable offence under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, a DCA statement said on Wednesday.
