  *Banned Drugs*

           *Make a checklist, see whether this medicine is in your home or
whether it has been recommended by your doctor... **Please** **DO NOT** use
it**... **
**Read Carefully **- **INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY *
*India** has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business
for production of banned drugs is booming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs
 only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it,
this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store)
and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these
banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We
forward Jokes and other junk all the time.... This is far more important.
