Pakistan and India have become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that you buy drugs only prescribed by a doctor and that also from a reputed drug store. Also, ask your doctor which company manufactures the drug he/she is prescribing, this would help to ensure that you get what is prescribed at the drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves.
