India warns China: Do not use 'Made in India' tag for your drugs


India has lodged a strong protest with China over sale of anti-malarial generic drugs with a 'Made in India' label but produced in that country.

The Government's attention was drawn to the matter through a press release issued by the Nigerian Government Drug Regulatory Authority (NAFDAC) about detention and seizure of a large consignment of fake anti-malarial generic pharmaceuticals labelled "Made in India" but produced in China.

Taking serious note of the issue, a strong protest was lodged with concerned Chinese authorities with a request to take stringent action against such unscrupulous elements, the Rajya Sabha was informed today.

Consequent to India's protest, the Chinese government conducted an investigation and found a nexus between Chinese drug manufacturers and importers in Nigeria, Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Dinesh Trivedi said in reply to a written question. Advertisement
