The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP), along with provincial drug authorities, raided medicine distributors in Lahore, and large quantities of Avastin injections were recovered during the operation.

Moreover, 110 Avastin injection vials were recovered from distributors’ offices by the DRAP.
