According to the latest report from CDSCO, various medications from reputable companies, including Alkem Laboratories, were highlighted for failing quality tests. Key findings include:
- Paracetamol Tablets from Karnataka Antibiotics & Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
- Calcium and Vitamin D3 Tablets from Pure & Cure Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.
