Substandard medicines

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dr. Morshed Chowdhury, Uttara model Town, Dhaka

The department of pharmacology has identified substandard medicines. It is a matter of great concern. Interestingly, Oushad Shipla Samiti had a press conference declaring that the tests were not accurate. They are in the game again. Since it was the result of a laboratory test, it should not have been countered with a press conference. I have a humble request that all the medicines be tested in an independent laboratory, before coming to a conclusion.
