Illegal purchase of drugs, strict investigation and resolute attitude

Previously, Cyberlan-the pharmacy manager reported that a pharmacy in Sanxing Town, Nantong was suspected of illegally purchasing benazepril hydrochloride tablets (Novartis Pharmaceuticals), felodipine sustained-release tablets (AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals) and other drugs in a total of 27 varieties.

Even so, there are still pharmacies making mistakes one after another.

I would like to remind consumers once again that after purchasing drugs, purchase receipts, payment records and other consumption vouchers should be kept in order to provide a basis for later rights protection and also facilitate the verification work of relevant agencies on companies that violate regulations
