Lomas's ono syrup was banned from sale after it was found to be of low quality.
The Drug Administration Department has banned the sale of Ono Syrup produced by Lomas Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd. In the notification of the department, it is mentioned that when the sample of the drug was brought from the market and tested, it was found not to meet the standards.
During the market monitoring, the sample of ONSO123 batch, which was brought in during the market monitoring, was not found to be in accordance with the standard when tested at the National Drug Laboratory, and the sale was banned.
The medicine is used to treat nausea and vomiting. Last week, the department was also instructed to recall the CT-2023 batch of Cetofen (Paracetamol) tablets produced by Lomas from the market as 'does not comply'.
The department has also instructed the chief technician of the industry to appear in the department within 15 days with an investigation report regarding the 'leakage' of Ono syrup.
