Indian supplement stores and pharmacies are shut down

Sale and usage of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are considered to be illegal in India. But illegal sale and application of steroids and other related drugs prosper in this country. A lot of sportspeople obtain these products at drug stores and supplement stores and administer them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for forbidden medications at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to raid pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related medications. After certain raids several pharmacies and supplement stores had been shut down.
Recently law enforcement officers searched a pharmacy and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was searched by law enforcement officers. As it was defined, steroids and other related preparations were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified by law enforcement officers. Several other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also recently searched. Police officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store that was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not pursued because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Certain pharmacies and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related drugs.
