India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also, the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that you buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor. Also, ask which company manufactures it; this would help to ensure that you get what is prescribed at the drug store and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them, causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward jokes and other junk all the time. This is far more important.
