Many companies in our country have been producing low quality medicines, and are further aided by dishonest pharmacists who reap profits from selling them. This has negative effects on the patients consuming them as well as the export market of our medicines produced locally. A number of children even lost their lives from taking adulterated and low quality paracetamol a few years ago.

It is high time we raise our voices against this. The concerned authorities should look into the matter and take serious measures against these practices.
