Science found that after studying the 60 thousand patients over four years that people taking these drugs were at increased risk of cancer of the lung, Brest and prostate.

Meanwhile the drug controller general of India has reportedly cancelled the registration of 10 Chinese drug companies preventing the import of raw material from them because their products don't meet drug manufacturing standards. As a result there could be a shortage of a few drugs as the raw materials are used to make pain-killers and anti-infective drugs.
