Kamaljit Singh, Chandigarh, 8th November, 2008 :India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. 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 u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time. This is far more important. Please make sure u forward it everyone u knows.
