Colombo, November 26 (Daily Mirror) - Cabinet Spokesman and Media Minister Nalinda Jayathissa claimed that the previous government was not only responsible for importing substandard medicines but also failed to place medicine orders for the upcoming year.

"After taking over the government, we had to address this issue. However, we successfully resolved it and ensured that adequate supplies of medicine will be available for the next year," he said.

Sizopin 100mg Tablet an antipsychotic drug used to treat manic episodes and Schizophrenia is not available in any pharmacy in Colombo. After desperate searches managed to get the only box available at a pharmacy in Weligama. Osu Sala the premier state pharmacy too said they have no stocks. This is a vital drug for patients suffering from depression, manic episodes and schizophrenia. Has the patient to suffer due to the lackadaisical attitude of those who are concerned in importing this important drug Who could help to obtain this drug??
