The Telangana Drug Control Administration (DCA) on Wednesday seized ‘Colinol-SPAS’ tablets from a medical shop in Nampally for making misleading advertisements claiming it can treat disorders of menstrual flow, which is a contravention of the Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act, 1954.
During raids on Tuesday and Wednesday, the DCA officials detected ‘Colinol-SPAS’ tablets manufactured and marketed by Vivimed Labs Ltd, Kashipur, Uttarakhand. The label of the product made a misleading claim by indicating that it can treat ‘spasmodic dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders’.
