In the current era, there is a scarcity of essential commodities, making it difficult for consumers to find the items they need in the market. Even when these items are available, businesses take advantage of the scarcity to increase prices and earn more profit. How the desire for higher profits has led to the adulteration of goods, which involves mixing substandard or harmful substances with products, deceiving consumers. The focuses on the particularly dangerous issue of adulterated medicines where fake medications like “Sarodon” and “Codopyrin” were found in the market. These counterfeit drugs can be ineffective or, worse, harmful to consumers’ health. Such adulterated medicines can lead to various health risks, including stomach upset, kidney stones, heart disease, and even life-threatening situations. The need for public awareness and government intervention to combat this issue is necessary. Govt should set life imprisonment for those involved in adulteration and the death penalty for any corrupt officials who aid or abet this crime.
