    New Delhi: The nodal drug regulatory body, the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has declared batches of 37 drugs including Ibuprofen, Vitamin B-Complex, Cefpirome Injection, others as not of standard quality in a random drug sample test.


    This came after analysis and test conducted by the CDSCO, Drugs Control Departments, on 1121 drug samples. Out of this, 1158 samples were found of Standard quality while 37 of them were declared as Not of Standard Quality (NSQ).


    Notable drugmakers including Macleods Pharma, Bal Pharma, Intas Pharma, others are involved in the manufacture of the drug samples that were collected for testing.


    Samples of Eptoin 300 ER (Phenytoin Sodium Extended-Release Tablets 300 mg), Ciprofloxacin Tablets IP 250 mg, Metronidazole Tablets I.P. 400 mg, Vitamin B-Complex Tablets NF, Ramizim - 2.5 (Ramipril Tablets I.P. 2.5 mg), Pantoprazole Enteric Coated Tablets 40 mg and others were picked for testing.


    The drug samples tested failed due to the presence of Dissolution, Assay, pH, Identification of Vitamin D3 & Cyanocobalam in and Assay of Calcium Carbonate Calculated as Calcium, Disintegration & Uniformity of Dispersion, Disintegration, Description
    and Disintegration, Content of Lactic Acid Bacillus, Water-soluble and Ethersoluble substances and others.
