BANNED MEDICINES

 

Please Read Very Carefully- INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS

India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is blooming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor (Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u 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 and other junk all the time. This is far more important.

Please Make sure u forward it everyone u know.
