actually generic medicines are NOT safe Even branded ones fail regularly No pharma company is Dhud ki dhuli Noone checks govt. monthly CDSCO reports which I do. Interestingly these monthly reports include both generic and branded medicines But how can Branded medicines be unsafe ? They are. Contrary to most people's beliefs. Check CDSCO website if you care Actually the difference between branded and generic is primarily of Marketing only (thats the most diplomatic word I could come up with). Yes. Thats what answers the huge difference in their cost if you don't know it already. Not the safety standards. Even this Branded vs Generic is a false dichotomy Thats not how we should look at medicines as far as safety of medicines is concerned. Both can be unsafe. Govt's CDCSO monthly data says it. Truth is if a patient's disease progresses, he doesn't question the quality of medicine (branded or generic). He blames it on God or doctor or his fate whatever you can call it. Thats the main problem. If noone knows if medicine quality can be the culprit , how will they even question it. People need some tangible hardcore proof of quality not solace of "Branded meds" recommendation by doctors Lab Test Public Report of EVERY batch of medicine . That too of a 3rd party independent laboratory That is called some tangible Hardcore proof of quality of medicine Thats what we provide 1st time in Bharat

India just got its own Ozempic at ₹2,200/month. Globally it costs 10x that. Zydus has launched a generic Semaglutide - the same molecule behind one of the most powerful drugs in modern medicine. Here is what it actually does: It mimics a gut hormone that regulates blood sugar and tells your brain you are full. Less hunger. Better insulin control. Significant weight loss. For diabetics and obesity patients in India, this is genuinely life changing access. But here is what worries me: This drug is already going viral on social media as a "weight loss shortcut." People are going to buy it without a prescription. Without dosing guidance. Without monitoring side effects. Semaglutide is not a supplement. It is a clinical molecule that affects your hormones, your gut, and your metabolism. Wrong dosing doesn't just mean it won't work. It means serious harm. Affordable access is a massive win for India. Unguided access is a risk we cannot ignore. As this becomes widely available - who do you think is responsible for ensuring it is used safely? Doctors? Pharmacists? The government? Or the patient themselves? #ozempic #semaglutide #healthrisk #healthylifestyle #onlinepharmacy

Are you sure what's in your protein tub is actually what's on the label? Delhi Police busted a counterfeit supplement factory in Rani Khera manufacturing fake ON, MuscleTech, Rule One & more, with professional-grade holograms and QR codes designed to deceive. This isn't a one-off. 150kg of fake supplements were ALREADY in the market before this raid. As consumers, you deserve better. Where you buy matters as much as what you buy.

We did something different last Sunday! Every person deserves to know what they're putting in their body, yet most of us never question it. That's exactly why the SayaCare Team set up a community booth in Mahagun Maple, Sector 50, Noida - no products to sell, just information to share. From hands-on experiments to one-on-one conversations - kids, adults, everyone participated. People learned about generic medicines, how they're tested, and how much they could actually be saving. Most were hearing this for the first time. Some were skeptical. Some were curious. Most had never questioned their medicine before. By the end, everyone walked away with a health kit and answers to questions they didn't even know they had. This is what awareness looks like on the ground. And we're just getting started! #SayaCare #GenericMedicines #TestedMedicines #AwarenessCampaign

Someone looked at a sick person and thought - "this is a business opportunity." That's exactly what happened in Jehanabad, Bihar. A racket was busted repackaging fake, cheap drugs under trusted brand names - then sending them straight to medical shops near you. ₹21 lakh worth of fake medicines and packaging materials seized. One arrested. But here's what should keep you up at night - this was ONE raid, in ONE city. How many counterfeit drugs are still sitting on pharmacy shelves across India RIGHT NOW, waiting to be sold to unsuspecting patients? People trusting these medicines for serious conditions. Treatments failing. Lives at risk. All because of greed. This isn't just a crime story. It's a public health emergency hiding in plain sight. So we have to ask - have you or someone you know ever experienced a medicine that just didn't work the way it should? Could it have been fake? Tell us in the comments. Your story might save someone's life. 👇 #FakeMedicines #DrugAlert #Bihar #CounterfeitDrugs #HealthAlert

Raw material costs up 30%. Glycerine up 64%. Paracetamol up 26%. Pharma solvents up 20-30% in a single week. All because of one thing! - Container ships stuck since the Iran war broke out. - China supply routes disrupted. - Freight charges doubled overnight. Importers can't absorb it. So they pass it to pharma companies. Pharma companies can't absorb it. So they're knocking on NPPA's door - asking to raise drug prices beyond what DPCO 2013 allows. Industry experts are warning - if the war continues another 10-15 days... that cushion is gone completely. UAE. Saudi Arabia. Oman. All heavily dependent on India for affordable medicines. A war in the Middle East is quietly reshaping the cost of medicines globally. How prepared do you think India's pharma supply chain really is for prolonged disruptions?

5 deaths. 5 different cities. And one disturbing pattern. In Shahjahanpur, Ballabgarh, Sakti, Aligarh, and Bhopal, patients recently died after being treated by unqualified practitioners. People thought they were visiting a doctor. But the person holding the stethoscope wasn’t qualified to treat them. This is the uncomfortable reality of India's healthcare gap. Where there are no doctors nearby, people go to whoever is available. And sometimes that visit… costs them their life. So, is quackery the real problem or is it the failure of a system that leaves millions with no real doctor to go to?

🚨 A shipment of Lantus SoloStar insulin was reportedly stolen in transit, exposing gaps in the medicine supply chain. Since insulin requires strict cold storage, mishandling could reduce effectiveness if it re-enters the market. Such thefts can also enable counterfeit swaps or trigger artificial shortages, risking patient safety. 💉

August 2023. Shahjahanpur. A van packed with government medicines, meant for patients, was caught being smuggled out of a medical college campus. An FIR was filed. Four people were named: Three pharmacists who were responsible to provide medicines to patients and the pickup driver!! And then?  NOTHING!!  For nearly 20 months, the case barely moved. No arrests.... until media showed up and a minister paid a visit.   And now after 2 years we finally have a verdict. So when a patient at a public hospital is told "stock khatam hai" and a diabetic patient is forced to buy insulin from outside... and a cancer patient delays treatment because they can't afford private prices... Is it really a supply problem? Or is it a theft problem coupled with government negligence that we've just learned to accept?

Raipur alert: A spurious batch of Ursodeoxycholic Acid 300 mg reportedly passed as “standard quality” in a state lab. Experts warn counterfeit drugs may still carry contamination risks. The case exposes gaps in the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 on label and packaging checks. 🚨

Deepinder Goyal sat down for a podcast and casually suggested gravity might be ageing your brain. Not stress. Not diet. Not sleep. Gravity!! The ~10 m/s2 of force you can't escape, can't fix, can't negotiate with. Mass public was ready to bid goodbye to their new year resolutions as some media channels called it the ‘Most important wearable’. All this while Medical-students threw their books out... But it turns out, the brain isn't as helpless as the theory suggests. It fights back. It adapts. It compensates for gravity every single day without you noticing. Astronauts floating in zero gravity don't return with sharper minds. In fact, many come back with neurological problems. And bats? Yes, Goyal mentioned bats. Hanging upside down their whole lives. But the bowhead whale lives 200 years lying horizontal in the ocean. Posture alone can't explain longevity. The hypothesis is fascinating. The spectacle around it was even bigger. But science, and ancient history tells a quieter, more grounded story. Read the full breakdown here 👇 sayacare.in/blogs/deepinder-… #DeepinderGoyal #RajShamani #Gravity

UP #drug raids in #Agra uncovered 8,000 #fake labels, banned Spasmo-Proxyvon tablets, Tramadol capsules, and smuggled “Not for Sale” physician samples. Two godowns sealed; probe on. Another reminder of how easily illegal medicines can enter the retail supply chain. #SayaCare #pharma #medicines #news

Trustified tested three brands of milk Amul was found with bacteria found from sewage Country Delight and Mother Dairy had high platelet count The two are not the same High platelet can come from non-cold storage transpiration - whereas coliform should have been detected in processing Interestingly, Amul controls distribution to higher degree than country delight and Amul - indicating their distribution chains are more controlled. Their pre-processing looks like it needs overhaul. But tbh, it's one test. Can some one test every week or month or so. Randomly from around the country, From each distribution plant, For each batch from each plant? Can there be consequences to failing?

#DelhiPolice ANTF and #Bihar Drug Dept busted a fake medicine factory in #Patna making spurious psychotropic syrups. Huge quantities of raw material, machines and fake labels were seized, and the 8th accused has been #arrested. An interstate network is under probe. #SayaCare #TestedSubstitutes

Did you know? Indians spend an average of 7.3 hours a day on their smartphones. But this always-on screen culture comes at a biological cost. Prolonged exposure to the blue light doesn’t just cause temporary eye strain; it interferes with sleep cycles, and a lot more. Read our full blog to learn more about the harmful effects of blue light: sayacare.in/blogs/is-blue-li…

Rabies is almost 100% fatal. Now imagine the vaccine meant to save you is fake. That’s exactly what just happened. Counterfeit Abhayrab doses meant to protect lives from rabies were shipped to Australia. Rabies is almost 100% fatal once symptoms begin and post-exposure vaccination is the only shield. That makes fake vaccines not just fraud, but a direct threat to life. The trail runs from a Patna drug outlet to a Bengaluru exporter, exposing gaps in documentation and oversight. Samples are now under lab testing, and the CDSCO has launched a covert probe into how these vials entered the global supply chain. When even life-saving vaccines can be counterfeited and exported, how can patients trust medicines anywhere? Source: DrugsControl.org
