Cao Tri Pharmacy, where expired pharmaceutical drugs were found to be sold.

Specifically, the inspection team of the Soc Trang Market Management Department inspected the Cao Tri pharmacy business household (address: Tra Quyt A hamlet, Chau Thanh town, Chau Thanh district, Soc Trang province), and made a record of administrative violations against this household for two violations: selling prescription drugs without a prescription and selling expired modern medicine. All goods in violation of the team were sealed and temporarily detained for processing.

It is known that this pharmacy is located at the house of a doctor who is currently working at the Chau Thanh District Medical Center. To verify, we contacted the doctor by phone and he said that his house is where he examines patients, while the pharmacy is registered under someone else's name. On the day the authorities inspected, he was at work and did not know about the incident, so he is waiting for the authorities' conclusion.
