The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP) has asked the public not to use specific batches of different medicines, declaring them as counterfeit.
In a warning issued here, the DRAP has also released images of counterfeit medicines being sold in various parts of Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan.
These fake drugs include treatments for fever, body pain, inflammation, digestive issues, chest and throat infections, fungal infections, gynecological disorders, and neuropathy.
The DRAP claimed to have uncovered a network distributing counterfeit medicines under the names of well-known local and international pharmaceutical brands.
Following reports from provincial authorities, samples tested by drug testing laboratories in Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan confirmed that the medicines were fake.
