TGDCA issues notices to 180 medical shops in special drug sale drive

The Drugs Control Administration, Telangana (TGDCA) has issued show cause notices to 180 retail medical shops during a special drive taken up by inspection teams.

The DCA special drive was focused on curbing the indiscriminate sale of habit-forming drugs, abortion kits and antibiotics in retail medical



shops.

The special drive was conducted with prime emphasis on verifying the sale of prescription medicines, including Schedule H and Schedule H1 drugs, and ensuring that retail medical shops dispense them only against a valid prescription issued by a Registered Medical Practitioner, the DCA said in a statement.
