AVEO PHARMA WAS TOLD TO HALT MAKING AN ILLEGAL DRUG COMBO AFTER BBC REPORT REVEALED THE COMPANY WAS EXPORTING IT TO WEST AFRICAN COUNTRIES
NEW DELHI: The Union ministry of health and family welfare has ordered immediate cessation of production at Mumbai-based Aveo Pharmaceuticals, which was found exporting an unapproved and potentially dangerous combination of pain-relief drugs to West African nations.
The regulatory action follows a BBC Eye investigation, published on February 21, which revealed the company was manufacturing and illegally exporting an unlicensed combination of tapentadol, a powerful opioid, and carisoprodol, a muscle relaxant banned in Europe due to its highly addictive nature.
"Ministry of health and family welfare has taken immediate and decisive action following some news reports highlighting concerns regarding the export of unapproved combination drugs containing tapentadol and carisoprodol by Indian Pharmaceutical Manufacturer M/s Aveo Pharmaceuticals, Mumbai to certain countries in West Africa," the health ministry stated, according to a PIB release.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order
Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
