THERE is a shortage of drugs such as Erythrocin, Actifed P, Milk of Magnesia, Ativan and Zenix. These drugs of everyday use provide relief to users. They were available in blackmarket at a very high price but no longer.

I don’t understand why these medicines go out of production every now and then. These medicines are all easily available at every medicine shop in other countries. The government should formulate some rules for production of every day medicines.
