Telangana DCA Seizes Mislabeled Gabazen Tablets Sold as Nutraceuticals

Telangana DCA Seizes Mislabeled Gabazen Tablets Sold as Nutraceuticals
Telangana DCA Cracks Down on Mislabeled Gabazen Tablets · deccanchronicle.com

Some people in India were selling tablets called Gabazen.

These tablets were actually medicine, but they were being sold as if they were food or health supplements.

The people who check these things, called the Drugs Control Administration, found out.

The medicine in the tablets is called Gabapentin.

Gabapentin is a strong medicine that you can only get with a doctor's prescription.

Selling it like a food product is against the law.

The drug regulators raided a place in Hyderabad and took away the tablets.

The makers were using a food license instead of a proper medicine license.

Now the makers must follow strict rules if they want to make this medicine, and they need special permission called a drug licence.
