Overview
- The Drugs Control Administration in Telangana ran a statewide enforcement drive and found violations at 75 medical shops, then issued show-cause notices.
- The checks targeted Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus and related generics that treat diabetes and are also used for weight loss.
- Inspectors looked for spurious or counterfeit batches and verified that pharmacies followed prescription and sale rules across multiple districts.
- The show-cause notices open departmental proceedings that can result in penalties or other action if the shops do not correct the lapses.
- In a separate action, the Hyderabad water board seized 17 illegal motors used to draw water in Gandhinagar and warned repeat offenders of fines and possible legal cases.
