TG SAFE Finds Violations at 111 Medical Shops

Officials in the CURE region checked medical shops to see whether some medicines were being sold improperly.

They visited shops in five zones on Tuesday.

The medicines they focused on included drugs that can be habit-forming.

Officials used pretend customers and test purchases during the checks.

They reported violations at 111 shops.

Some medicines were sold without prescriptions, and some shops lacked a registered pharmacist at the time.

Officials also found problems with bills and required records.

All 111 shops received notices asking them to explain.

Their licences could be suspended or cancelled under the law.
