Damn!! this is scary. I feel like not taking any medicine for any problem at all.
 
Yeah. It also scared me initially. I hope more number of people will come across this blog and will spread the word. We consume medicines to cure ourselves not to get another disease.

Hi Swapna

It's so good of you to put such a detailed list of banned drugs. I had a vague idea about some of them, but did'nt know about things like Vicks 500.

I am copying and pasting the information on my blog.
 
Hey Vijaya,
Thanks for stopping by. I am glad that you found the blog interesting and useful. It would be a great idea to share it with as many as possible so that we can prevent many of them from taking these drugs.

Happy Holidays
