The pharmacies and hospitals were selected across Telangana on random basis.
The checks would continue for two days. Two-member teams collected six samples each of different tablets, syrups, capsules, ointments, saline etc. The collected samples would be sent to National Institute of Biologicals, Delhi for analysis to test whether they are of standard or poor quality. The aim of the exercise is to prevent supply of the use of spurious and poor quality medicines.
