Avoid these dangerous drugs.......

By John Cheeran
Do you reach out for D Cold or Vicks Action 500?
Then you must stop taking these.
These medicines are banned globally and consuming such stuff may lead to getting strokes.
India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs.
The business for production of such banned drugs is blooming.
Please make sure that you buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor (also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that you get what is prescribed at the drug store) and that also from a reputed drug store.
