Banned Medicine

Thanks to BlackSwan, got this email from her. So, i think it will be a good idea to inform others too.

Please Read Very Carefully
INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS...

India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that u 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 reputable drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of harm to themselves. We forward Jokes and other Junks all the time. This is far more important.
