The officials of Drugs Control Administration (DCA), Telangana moved in on a weight loss centres on Friday and took possession of packages of drugs for analysis. The checks were conducted to find if any unethical or incorrect measures were being followed in these programmes.
According to DCA chief Akun Sabharwal, “Most of these 'Weight Loss Programme' centres across the city had made claims of radical weight loss in a short duration using super foods and special drinks.” DCA raided seven centres located at Himayathnagar, Srinagar Colony, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Marredpally and AS Rao Nagar.
“After finding the programme group had violated the law on five counts, the scope of the exercise was increased and samples collected for analysis,” he added. The surprise checks were initiated after a complaint was lodged with the DCA.
