<h1>Surge in Counterfeit Medicines: 50% Rise Linked to High Discounts, Lax Oversight, and Lenient Laws. Urgent Reforms Needed.</h1> The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists has reported a significant increase in counterfeit medicines in retail markets, with a 50% rise compared to previous years. This surge is attributed to consumer attraction to high-discount drugs, inadequate government oversight, and lenient laws. Recent reports from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation revealed multiple batches of common drugs failing quality tests. The Bengal Chemists and Druggists Association highlighted the impact of GST on the distribution of fake medicines and criticized the insufficient penalties under The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. Experts emphasize the urgent need for stricter regulations and increased public awareness.
