In order to use fentanyl citrate injections to patients in a hospital, the hospital must have NDPS License-2 permits. However, Narcotic and Drug Control Officials have found that they are using narcotic injections without any permits. These are found to be supplied by Medicare Pharma. Pharma distributors should have NTPS License-1 permissions. But, authorities concluded that the narcotic injections were being illegally supplied to Medicare Pharma without such permits.
Sameer Hospital Chairman Soyab Subhani, Director Mohammad Abdul Mujeeb, Pharmacist Syed Naziruddin, Sales Executive Mohammad Zafar and Medicare Pharma distributor Gopi Srinivas were detained by the police who were using these illegally. (Maxim News)
