Ahmedabad Drug Wholesaler Loses Licence Over Illegal Codeine Syrup Sale

The Gujarat State Drug Control Department has revoked the licence of a drug wholesaler in Ahmedabad after authorities uncovered illegal sales of codeine syrup. The investigation revealed that the wholesaler had been distributing the opioid‑containing syrup without the required regulatory approvals. The licence cancellation is part of a broader crackdown on illicit pharmaceutical distribution in the state. The wholesaler’s operations will be suspended pending further inquiry, and the authorities have warned other distributors to comply with drug licensing laws.
