Have you ever thought that your regular Antacid “Pan D” can ever be fatal? Well, not the genuine ones!

A recent raid by Crime Branch in Delhi has seized over 90,000 fake capsules and tablets of antacids and multivitamins which are usually consumed in all households as first remedy (As reported by Times of India March 18 online Edition). Among this, 50000 were fake capsules of Pan D, which is commonly taken by most of us during acidity problem. A regular consumer cannot distinguish between these fake and the real medicines.


According to the experts, this fake medicine industry causes the deaths of almost 1 million people a year across the globe and a good ratio of it belongs to India. In India, the growing threat of antibacterial resistance has a huge contribution from these substandard fake drugs.

Your doctor might have prescribed you to take multi-vitamins and you got them from your local pharmacy with a great discount. Now, after some time, you may start experiencing the common side effects like allergic reactions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal problems. You should immediately visit your doctor after experiencing any of these symptoms. The risk is higher in such cases because even your doctor will not be aware of the exact chemical composition of these fake drugs.

The toxic compounds and heavy metals used in the counterfeit drugs can show symptoms of poisoning like changes in heart function, gas perfusion and blood glucose levels.

The condition might get complicated to the extent where the treatment with legal pharmaceutical drugs also fail.

He is considered as the father of dhamail folk dance and music. Now, this dance form is diminishing and losing its charm in the age of multimedia. But, it still survives in the three districts of Assam- Cachar , Karimganj and Hailakandi . Tripura, the neighbouring state of Assam also has some traces of this folk dance.
