JOHANNESBURG - Concern is rising over the illegal packaging and sale of medicines.
This as police recently dismantled a suspected drug-packaging hub in Houghton.
Prescription cough syrup containing codeine worth over R20-million was recovered.
The medicines were destined for neighbouring Zimbabwe.
Earlier this year, ARVs and other medicines were also found being transported illegally to Limpopo after a bus crash exposed the shipment.
Mokgadi Fafudi from the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority said they have linked certain pharmacies to the bust.
