Chennai,Dec6 (PTI) Former President A P J Abdul Kalam today said the Central and State governments must ensure that the Drugs and Cosmetics Act is properly enforced to check spurious drugs flooding the market. "There is a perception that a large number of pharmaceutical products sold in India are counterfeit or of sub-standard quality. These drugs are generally made by unscrupulous elements and supplied surreptitiously to chemist shops through illegal channels", he said. "Central and State governments have to ensure that the Drugs and Cosmetics Act is properly enforced to check this nefarious practice. Pharmacists must ensure that their sources of supply of drugs are reliable to check the menace of spurious drugs", he said, inaugurating the 64th Indian Pharmaceutical Congress organised by SRM University, here. The former President called for inclusion of subjects in the course curriculum which will enable detection of spurious pharmaceutical products by pharmacists. "The pharmacy education has an important role to play in equipping the students with the knowledge and ability to detect the entry of unauthorised drugs into circulation. Also, every effort should be made to check the manufacture, sale and distribution of spurious drugs", he said. Observing that the country has performed well in the industrial pharmacy segment, Kalam said the pharmacy degree programme is required to be realigned with job requirements. "We have to develop a strategy to bring about continuous upgradation in pharmacy education to meet the changing needs of the profession", he said. He said the global production of pharmaceuticals, branded and generics were about USD 550 billion; the value of Indian pharma industry was about USD 30 billion. "While evolving the Pharma Vision 2020, I would like to suggest that we should identify all such missions which will make India the leader in drug production", he said.PTI VIJ BN DK
