Ahmedabad drug wholesaler loses licence over illegal codeine syrup sales

The drug regulator has cancelled the licence of an Ahmedabad-based pharmaceutical wholesaler for illegally selling codeine syrup without proper authorisation. The action was taken following discovery of unauthorised distribution of the controlled substance, which is regulated due to its potential for misuse and addiction.

Codeine-based syrups are prescription medications that require strict compliance with pharmaceutical regulations. The cancellation reflects enforcement action against violations of drug distribution norms in the state.
