In today’s time, many people are troubled by the problem of BP and depend on medicines daily. In such a situation, concern regarding blood pressure medicines has increased in the country. In a single month, many batches of medicines failed in the quality test and these cases have come to light from Assam to Kerala. It is clear from this that the problem is not limited to any one state.
According to the CDSCO report, last month a total of 198 medicines failed the quality test, including blood pressure Medicines were the highest. This condition can be dangerous for patients, as they rely on these medicines for their treatment. If the medicine does not work properly, the disease may progress and the patient may not even be aware of it. This is the reason why questions are now being raised on the quality and monitoring of medicines and the need to take strict steps is being felt.
Batches of 18 BP medicines failed, failure in dissolution test became the reason
Batches of 18 blood pressure medicines were found to have failed in the quality test. The biggest reason for the failure of these medicines is failure in the dissolution test. This test checks how fast and in what quantity the medicine dissolves in the body. If the medicine does not dissolve properly, then it has less effect on the body, that is, the patient takes the medicine, but does not get the full benefit.
The special thing is that in many cases these medicines look completely normal from outside, due to which the patient does not have any doubt. But internally their influence diminishes. This is the reason why concern about the quality of medicines has increased and experts are considering it as a serious problem.
Danger may increase due to silent failure
This problem is being called silent failure, because even after taking the medicine, the patient does not get the desired effect, but he does not know about it. The patient keeps taking medicines regularly, yet his blood pressure is not under control.
If this condition continues for a long time, the risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney related problems may increase. The biggest concern is that this danger increases gradually and the patient does not even get the signs in time.
What is the status of BP in India?
Blood pressure has become a major health problem in India. Crores of people are affected by this, but very few of them are able to control their BP properly. Bad lifestyle, stress and eating habits are the main reasons for this.
In such a situation, if questions start being raised about the quality of medicines, the situation may become more serious. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the testing and monitoring of medicines, so that patients can get correct and safe treatment.
