Officials at the Bibile Hospital today discarded 100,000 paracetemol tablets after they were found to be discolored and unsuitable for patients. Doctors have detected the packets containing these tablets during a sample check at the hospital.

They said that these tablets were not suitable to be given to patients. A large number of patients seek medication from the Bibile hospital everyday.

The hospital authorities are now planning to lodge a complain on this matter with the Health Ministry.
