The Tamil Nadu Drugs Control Department is monitoring the sale and availability of the Remdesivir injection, one of the drugs used in the treatment of COVID-19. Any distributor or retailer involved in black marketing or hoarding of Remdesivir will face prosecution, officials have warned.
The rapid surge in COVID-19 cases across Tamil Nadu has turned the department’s attention to Remdesivir. Last year, private hospitals had raised complaints of non-availability of the drug and instances of it being sold for higher prices.
On its part, the department had suspended licenses of five medical shops in Madurai for selling the drug in the black market, officials said.
