as usual But what do you do when you have a cold and a fever? The answer would be that we take medicines after consulting the doctor. In case of diabetes and hypertension, medicines are taken regularly. After this they became careless saying, ‘We have taken the medicine, now there is nothing to worry about.’
In the last few months, many medicines have failed the quality test during the inspection by the drug regulatory body CDSCO (Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation). This means that medication is not effective for the disease it was intended to treat. The side effects of that medication can also be serious. In general, it is not safe to take medicines that fail the quality test. So, we cannot be careless even after taking medicine.
India’s largest drug regulatory body, CDSCO, has released a list of 48 medicines. These medicines have failed the random sample quality tests carried out in August. A total of 53 medicines failed these tests, while 5 of these medicines are ones that the companies have refused to accept as their own. These were fake medicines, which were sold in the market in the name of some pharmaceutical companies.
It is a matter of concern that the medicines which failed the test are manufactured by the famous pharmaceutical companies of the country like Hetero Drugs, Alkem Laboratories, Hindustan Antibiotics Limited (HAL), Karnataka Antibiotics and Pharmaceuticals Limited.
so today ‘health record’ We will talk about the medicines that failed CDSCO tests. You will also learn that-
- Why can’t we trust pharmaceutical companies and doctors?
- Which of our habits make us sick?
- How can we take control of our health into our own hands?
Indian people consider doctors as another form of God.
In July 2023, the then Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Mansukh L Mandaviya said at the third convocation of AIIMS Rishikesh that the people of India see doctors as messengers of God. Therefore, it is the responsibility of doctors to make healthcare affordable and accessible to serve mankind. He also said that health in India is not a business, but a service. However, in the last few months, these two things that Mansukh Mandaviya said have been dismissed.
In April 2024, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) released a survey report, which stated that 45% of doctors in India write incorrect or misleading prescriptions. It was also revealed that doctors were prescribing many medicines unnecessarily in the prescription papers, such as Pantoprazole, Rabeprazole-Domperidone and enzyme drugs.
Now, the failure of medicines of famous pharmaceutical companies in the quality test means that the health of common people is at stake on a large scale.
Medicines for which diseases failed in sample tests?
Even Shelcal, a popular tablet given to children to supply calcium and vitamin D, has failed to meet the parameters of this quality test. It is produced by the famous pharmaceutical company Torrent Pharmaceuticals. This medicine is widely used in small children at the time of teething, in adults with bone-related problems and to protect the elderly from osteoporosis.
The list of medicines and pharma companies that failed the quality test is so long that it is difficult to write everyone’s name. At the moment, see in the graph which medicines have failed the test.

- Include fresh fruit in your morning breakfast. Try to get a good amount of protein at breakfast.
- If possible, spend about half an hour in the morning in natural sunlight. If you are short on time, complete this target in a day.
- For lunch, remember that the plate will contain 50% carbs, 25% protein and the rest will be fiber and healthy fat.
- Work-life balance is very important in life, so finish your office work in the office itself.
- Managing stress is also very important in life. For this, practice yoga or meditation.
- Don’t be tempted to smoke or drink alcohol just for a few minutes of good feelings. Whether it’s for a hobby, for fun or to get an outzone, it’s very damaging all the time.
- Promise yourself that you will drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.
- Take time for your dearest people, talk to them for some time, sit with them.
- Reduce your screen time. Eat food at least 2 hours before going to sleep and get enough sleep of 7-8 hours every night.
