No life saving drugs present in the market

KARACHI: Stocks of life-saving and essential drugs have vanished from the medicine markets in the country as the pharmaceutical sector has demanded an increase in the prices following a hike in manufacturing costs owing to an increase in the rate of the dollar, fuel prices, and other factors. 

According to sources, multiple life-saving drugs, injections, and syrups are unavailable on the market. At the same time, medicines for fever, body ache, asthma, cancer, cardiac arrest, blood pressure, TB, diabetes, and other diseases have also vanished from the market.
