The medicines included in this confiscation, are as follows:
1. Khadirarishta - claimed to treat tumours
2. Ekangveer ras - claimed to treat paralysis
3. Simhadi guggulu - claimed to treat rheumatism and tumors
4. Stonil - claimed to treat kidney problemsSteroids were also seized from various quacks during these raids.
The confiscation was done in three cities and two districts of Telangana.
Drug and Magic Remedies Act, of 1984, prohibits any such advertisements about drugs providing treatments for certain ailments because of their magical qualities.
It is a punishable offense with imprisonment of about 6 months with or without a fine.
It is extremely important to stop such medicines from being so easily available on the market, as self-medication of such drugs poses a great threat to humanity.
These can be harmful in terms of antimicrobial resistance, rendering infections non-responsive to appropriate treatment and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death.
