The data regarding drugs recalled after failing quality tests is not maintained centrally by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO).
During the year 2023-24 (April to March), 2,988 drug samples were declared not of standard quality while 282 drug samples were found to be spurious or adulterated, she said.
Based on the findings, 604 prosecutions were launched for the manufacturing, sale and distribution of spurious/adulterated drugs. A total of 1,06,150 drug samples were tested during the period, she said in the written reply.
